For funders and partners

Invest in something that grows.

NextGen Education is designed so that every investment creates something that lasts beyond any single funding period. This is not a pilot hoping to become a project. It is a system designed for scale from day one.

The challenge

Most education initiatives fade when funding ends.

The learning stays in a few classrooms. The materials sit on a shelf. The network dissolves. NextGen Education is designed differently. Reusable learning journeys that spread across schools. A teacher academy that grows with the network. Company Challenges that generate their own revenue. And a Portable Learning Identity that becomes permanent European infrastructure.

Children working with technology in the classroom

It already exists, and it scales

A working platform, a demo, structured learning journeys, and a team with decades of combined experience. Funders are backing something real, not a promise.

Partner school labs test and refine journeys. Those journeys become available to any school in Europe. Each investment produces materials and practices that travel far beyond them.

Teacher exploring new learning technology

It sustains itself, and it produces evidence

Company Challenges keep the programme running after funding ends. The Learner Contribution Profile and Portable Learning Identity become permanent European educational infrastructure.

Every partner school generates documented practice. An independent evaluator tracks impact throughout, ensuring results are credible, measurable, and useful.

How impact develops

Built to last beyond any single funding period.

In the first year

Partner schools across multiple countries begin running learning journeys. Teachers engage with the academy. Students work across borders on shared challenges. The first Company Challenges launch. Evidence collection begins.

In years two and three

Learning journeys are refined and adopted by a wider circle of schools. The teacher academy grows with new modules shaped by real classroom experience. Company Challenge partnerships deepen. The Learner Contribution Profile is piloted.

Beyond the funding period

Reusable programmes continue to spread. The Company Challenge model sustains operations. The Portable Learning Identity takes shape as lasting infrastructure. Results and frameworks inform European education policy.
