The Brookings Institute’s Rebecca Winthrop et al, explore the possibility of harnessing innovations to leapfrog— to jump ahead, or move rapidly and nonlinearly—to make educational progress. Their interests are in exploring globally what leapfrogging in education looks like— and the potential for education innovations to help us leap ahead. They believe that through sharing insights that can inspire action oriented governments, civil society organizations, educators, philanthropic investors, and members of the business community then we can seriously consider the prospect of rapid, nonlinear educational progress, and to reflect on what more needs to be done to make leapfrogging in education a reality.
