THE MAG: EDUCATION GLOBAL • EDUCATION ## The Mag: Education Seedstars Global MARCH 17, 2020 Living in the era of the ‘technology Renaissance’ as the digital merges with the physical, and robots are capable of executing surgeries on the human brain, requires a completely new approach to education starting in early childhood, continuing through higher and adult education. It requires a so-called [**T-shaped approach**](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/01/how-can-higher-education-adapt-to-a-constantly-evolving-future-of-work/) when deep disciplinary expertise blends with cross-cutting knowledge. So, how to meet the demand of the global market for [**highly skilled workers**](https://seedstarslife.com/summit/bringing-1-million-jobs-to-latin-america-jessica-hammer), who are capable of solving complex challenges? How to integrate the T-Shaped philosophy into teaching and learning? How to increase the quality of education especially in emerging markets that constantly undergo significant social and economic transformations? At Seedstars, we believe that it can be achieved only through close collaboration of the private sector, government and grass-roots initiatives. That’s why we have been partnering with [**TRECC**](https://treccprogram.org/) and the [**School of Management Fribourg (HEG Fribourg)**](https://www.heg-fr.ch/en/) for the last few years to find and support the best startups in Edtech globally. We are proud to have startups such as [**Asafeer Education Technologies**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTvdrX1MZDI) and [**Schoolap**](https://www.seedstars.com/magazine/how-schoolap-bringing-digital-schools-congo/) among the winners of [**The Transforming Education Prize**](https://www.seedstarsworld.com/summit/seedstars-summit-2020/prizes/) 2017 and 2019. In 2020, [**Programa Valentina**](https://programavalentina.com/) joined the awardees lineup as the winner. Programa Valentina is an acceleration program that trains basic skills to unemployed young talents in Guatemala and matches them with the needs of companies. In our episode, you will learn more about the impact those startups have on their societies and the world. **Additional resources to explore more on this topic:** [ **A look at the edtech landscape: the world’s biggest opportunity**](https://www.seedstars.com/magazine/a-look-at-the-edtech-landscape-the-worlds-biggest-opportunity/) [ **Report on the state of edtech in Ivory Coast by TRECC & Seedstars**](https://www.seedstars.com/magazine/trecc-and-seedstars-unveil-depth-report-state-edtech-ivory-coast-2018/) [ **About TRECC, Jacobs Foundation**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHdGcYnsSQo) [ **We need a new education system**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=231gBESrWns) [ **About HEG Fribourg and its summer school in Switzerland**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=znPaFGKqeoo&feature=emb_logo) [ **About Programa Valentina (Spanish)**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RRIXPZioBM) PROUDLY PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH [ ![School of Management Fribourg](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/heg-fr-logo-seo.max-350x350.png) ](https://www.heg-fr.ch/en/) PROUDLY PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH [ ![JACOBS FOUNDATION](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Jacobs_LogoByline.max-350x350.png) ](https://jacobsfoundation.org/en/activity/trecc-transforming-education-cocoa-communities/) VIDEO THE MAG SEEDSTARS WORLD 2019/20 GLOBAL AFGHANISTAN EDUCATION & CONSULTING EDTECH EDUCATION IT EDUCATION MANAGEMENT ## More like this [ ![Advancing Learning for Millions of Kids](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Kukua.max-320x550.png) AFRICA • EDUCATION & CONSULTING Advancing Learning for Millions of Kids Through Entertainment | Lucrezia Bisignani Lucrezia wanted to be an actress and started her entrepreneurial journey when she was 8 years old, selling crafts to give to those most in need. __ ](https://www.seedstars.com/content-hub/life/advancing-learning-millions-kids-through-entertainment-lucrezia-bisignani/) [ ![Monthly Revenue](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/podcast_thumbnail.max-320x550.png) CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE • EDUCATION & CONSULTING From $300 to $60K Monthly Revenue and Serving 400,000 Students Worldwide | Daria Kroshkina With a passion for learning, growth and continuous development, Dasha turned the knowledge she used herself to secure scholarships. __ ](https://www.seedstars.com/content-hub/life/300-60k-monthly-revenue-and-serving-400000-students-worldwide-daria-kroshkina/) [ ![Seedstars World Competition?](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Seedstars-29-scaled_crop.max-320x550.jpg) GLOBAL • EDUCATION & CONSULTING What Pitches Make Startups the Finalist of the Seedstars World Competition?
