Initiative

    Do You Know of a Breakthrough Idea in Education? 
   
  Let others know about it! 
   
  USAID partner, the Academy for Educational Develpment (AED), believes that there are effective strategies for promoting learning, and those strategies need to be more broadly disseminated to meet the goals of Education for All.  If you have a proven method that improves learning, and is replicable in multiple settings and contexts, the Breakthrough Ideas in Education Initiative can help you share it with educators around the world.  
   
  WHAT IS A BREAKTHROUGH IDEA? 
  This year Mohammed Yunis, founder of the Grameen Bank, was honored with a Nobel Peace Prize for his breakthrough idea in microfinance.  His simple but rigorous method for providing credit to the poor has been successfully replicated around the world, helping millions of people. That is a breakthrough idea. 
   
  Are there educational breakthrough ideas that can help poor communities increase the numbers of students who successfully master basic skills and complete school on time?  Do you have tested approaches that dramatically improve reading skills for early readers?  Do you know proven ways to significantly increase girls ' participation in school?  Are there other educational breakthrough ideas the world should know about?  
   
  Breakthrough ideas in education are proven education innovations, methods, or approaches that result in measurable, replicable, scaleable, and sustainable improvements in learning.

AED will post all responses to this notice on the Breakthrough Ideas in Education Community located on the Global Learning Portal.
