The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an international initiative driving innovation and collaboration in education, has announced the six 2015 WISE Awards winning projects. Since 2009, the WISE Awards have identified and promoted some of the most effective practices in tackling urgent global education challenges. A panel comprised of education leaders selected the winning projects from a shortlist of 15 finalists. The winning projects address education issues linked to literacy, special needs, access and employment.
Amongst the winning projects:
- The Qatari project Al-Bairaq which supports innovation and entrepreneurship by immersing secondary students in hands-on scientific activities and practice in order to build appreciation and understanding of the work of scientists.
- In Uganda, the Educate! Experience project partners with schools to foster a culture of entrepreneurship among youth by tailoring an innovative and cost-effective education model to the skill requirements of the job market.
