The U.K. Aid-supported Education Technology (EdTech) hub is organizing participants to help children, educators, and governments in Third-World countries modernize classrooms with the latest technology. The Department for International Development has partnered with the World Bank on the EdTech hub, whose goal is to produce the largest global corpus of research, to evaluate, scale up, and apply education innovations nationwide.
