The partners of the Global Coalition for Foundational Learning are working together to support governments in improving foundational learning outcomes. This blog, the first in a series, sets out a framework to help governments navigate decisions on EdTech and AI, with a focus on what will deliver impact in a context where evidence of what works reliably at scale is still emerging.
Evidence increasingly shows that impact depends on how technology is used within systems, not the technology itself. It also points to a small set of system-level approaches, particularly structured pedagogy, targeted instruction, strong teaching and effective assessment, with technology most effective when it complements and reinforces these approaches and keeps the teacher at the center.
