The Education Commission's Innovative Pedagogy Project is a major worldwide endeavor that brings together world leaders, policymakers, and researchers to build a fresh and compelling investment rationale and finance channels for ensuring equal educational opportunities for children and young people.
Dr. Sam Awuku, the Education Commission's Lead, Innovative Pedagogies Project, said that with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity for governments to join together to think about education in order to avoid a learning catastrophe has become crucial. Working with stakeholders, the Commission enlisted the help of 163 nations, resulting in the publication of a white paper titled "Save Our Future."
Children returning to school safely and saving our future were two of the seven action areas outlined in Save our Future.
