We work to give every child the evidence-based education they need to thrive.
Info
Whatever their background, all young people should have access to a high-quality education. Yet all too often, programs and interventions designed to improve a child’s learning and education provide one-size-fits-all instruction and are not rooted in evidence. Founded by Klaus J. Jacobs in 1989, the Jacobs Foundation’s vision is a world in which every child is given the evidence-based learning opportunities they need to thrive. To move closer to this vision, our flagship Strategy 2030 has pledged 500 million Swiss Francs to improve children’s learning and education by promoting the generation and translation of evidence into policy and practice. We accomplish this by funding research to understand how children learn, promoting the use of evidence in school practice and EdTech, and supporting countries to integrate evidence into education policy and implementation. Strategy 2030 is underpinned by an ambitious Research Agenda designed to advance our scientific understanding of childhood variability – how children vary day-to-day in their skills and behaviors, how they differ from their peers, and how they live and learn in different environments. By furthering the science of how children vary over time and contexts, we aim to support policymakers and educators in embracing variability and providing evidence-based learning opportunities that serve more children, more often.

Our work in Côte d’Ivoire focuses on enhancing educational outcomes and addressing child labor through partnerships with the government and cocoa producers. 🇨🇮 ✅ The Transforming Education in Cocoa Communities (TRECC) program, which operated from 2016 to 2021, aimed to improve education in cocoa-growing areas. TRECC funded pilot projects in schools and non-formal settings to find scalable solutions, mostly led by teachers in government schools with support from local and international partners. ✅ Building on the success of TRECC, the first Child Learning and Development Facility (CLEF) was created as a collaborative fund involving the Ivorian government, other philanthropic organizations, and the cocoa industry.

Ana Cubillo, PhD is one of our Global Leads for Learning and Evidence and has just returned from an inspiring 10-day trip to Colombia, where she saw the incredible efforts being made to transform the future of education through our Colombia Evidencia Potencial en Educación initiative. 🇨🇴 💬 For Ana, "this work exemplifies the power of collaboration, with private and public actors uniting to overcome the complex challenges in Colombian education. Given the unique circumstances in each region, implementing territory-specific solutions is essential for meaningful and lasting change." We are dedicated to integrating evidence into the heart of policy-making and demonstrating our commitment to ensuring that every decision is grounded in research. ➡️ Read more about our work in Colombia and the launch of CEPE earlier this year: https://bit.ly/4dHb6nH #Colombia #EducationTransformation #CEPE
