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.

"Children are more likely to try hard when they have seen someone else try hard." 🌟 How do we keep children motivated in learning? 📚 Assistant Professor Julia Leonard's research has found that children are more likely to continue trying if they get evidence that they are improving. The importance of creating a learning environment where effort is shown to pay off cannot be underestimated. Hear more about her findings below 👇 #Learning #Development #Education

#ICYMI The EdLabs Alignment Framework from the Jacobs Foundation provides a clear structure for how research can meaningfully shape policy and practice. 🧭 From system analysis to cross-sector collaboration, this is a must-read for policymakers, researchers, and funders alike. 📥 Download the framework here: https://lnkd.in/ekdJfqKr #Evidence #Policy #EdLabs #Education #Learning #Systems #Strategy2030 #Learning #Research #Framework #Funders
We know that high-quality education policies should be based on rigorous evidence, but how do we make this the norm rather than the exception? The EdLabs Alignment Framework, developed by the Jacobs Foundation, provides a structured approach to embedding evidence into policymaking. 🔑 Key takeaways include: 🔹 There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ for EdLabs. What matters is how they connect evidence, decision-makers, and education systems. 🔹 For evidence to have an impact, it must be accessible, relevant, and designed with policymakers in mind. 🔹 Long-term change requires institutional buy-in, cross-sector collaboration, and continuous learning.

At the 2025 CIES - Comparative & International Education Society conference, the Jacobs Foundation's Donika Dimovska chaired a panel about the Evidence Navigation Journey (ENJOY), a digital framework designed to help education practitioners go beyond traditional measures of evidence and focus on what truly works in context. Alongside contributions from: 🔹 Mary Abdo – Discussing the use of evidence standards to move beyond a focus on evidence on effectiveness to assess evidence on implementability and transferability. 🔹 Alejandra A. (Mathematica) – Transforming evidence standards into a digital tool for assessing the strength of evidence generation and use. 🔹 Lasse Leponiemi (HundrEDorg) – Piloting the use of a digital assessment tool to strengthen innovators’ capacity to measure impact and push for scale. 🔹 Eliza Berg & Drew Edwards (MIT Solve) – As discussants. 💡📊 The session highlighted the importance of not just generating strong evidence, but making it usable, transferable, and scalable.
