Education is a resource which can transform lives, raise aspirations and build futures. We believe everyone has the right to learning that is inclusive, fair and life enhancing; and that technology has the potential to improve how children and adults interact with education throughout their lives. GDI Hub is developing a suite of new technologies to aid inclusive learning - these range from tactile tools to cultural exploration kits and working with partners to identify opportunities for leapfrog technologies to transform the learning experience.
