How do we solve a $97 billion global education funding shortfall when investments take decades to yield returns? In this episode of The Impact Equation, host Rafi Addlestone is joined by Karthik Krishnan (CEO of IFFEd), Hinah Mian (Jacobs Foundation), and Martina Gaus (UBS Optimus Foundation) to explore the innovative financial and pedagogical strategies needed to secure the future of global education. The guests dissect the structural barriers that often cause education to lose out to other sectors, showcase how a new guarantee model is turning every dollar invested into seven dollars of concessional financing, and discuss the critical need for evidence-based teaching that meets students at their specific competency levels. This conversation offers a masterclass on overcoming institutional hurdles to ensure that when it comes to philanthropic partnership, the sum is truly greater than its parts. Hosted on Acast.
