The Symposium on Innovative Financing for Education (IFE) will engage Indian education and development experts in evidence-informed dialogue on the use of IFE and maximise knowledge sharing with participants from around the world. The symposium will draw upon the expertise of diverse actors engaged in outcomes-based financing in India including private investors, philanthropists, service providers, researchers and academics. There will be sessions focusing on private investment and corporate social responsibility for education, experiences of implementing IFE programmes, and systemic changes in the Indian education sector.
The symposium is organised by the Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), supported by NORRAG, as part of the IFE-2-Leave No One Behind project. It is made possible thanks to a grant from the Leading House South Asia and Iran, Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).
Sessions:
- Non-state investment for educational outcomes: Experimentation to evidence.
- A decade of CSR engagement in education: What’s next?
- New philanthropy and outcomes-based financing for education: What works and what does not.
- Creating social impact: the “highs” and “lows” of implementing outcomes-focused education projects in India.
