The changes that we are experiencing in the education space may be new, but the relationships and alliances we form do not have to be.

There is strength in numbers. There is support in teams. Collaboration and sharing multiples and amplifies ideas. What is needed now are human-centric leaders who expect change, build their leadership on relationships, and stay consistently curious in the face of constant change. In times of turbulence, it is the leaders who embrace ambiguity and vulnerability who thrive.

This high-level roundtable, held on the sidelines of this year’s UN General Assembly meetings in New York City, also acts as the launching pad for a new report from BTS Spark and hundrED, “Leading Through Uncertainty: Education Innovation in Times of Global Funding Volatility.”

The report surveys how global funding volatility has affected the resourcing of innovative solutions in education across more than 100 countries. Read it here.
