Our take
It’s generally accepted that nurturing education systems will lead to a peaceful and prosperous world. Enter NewGlobe, a company creating powerful technology-enabled education systems.
NewGlobe boasts an unequalled experience in transforming educational outcomes at speed and scale. Through continuous gathering of data the company has developed a digital learning platform, training and coaching programmes and is able to provide support for the schools implementing its protocol. The NewGlobe education system bridges the gaps in core skills by tracking data relating to learning outcomes and skills.
The kind of work NewGlobe is committing to is being seen to have influenced change all the way through to University. There is no argument toward the need for a company like NewGlobe but what sets it apart is the impact the company wishes to have. Its initiatives like EdoBest (the overhaul of education within Southern Nigeria after the peak in human trafficking and irregular migration) is a clear example of the scale of work NewGlobe is initiating.
