Everything’s going digital, and that includes education. From homework management apps to virtual reality geometry lessons, there’s plenty on offer from companies competing for a slice of the sizeable global market for online learning.
“Panels should represent the clients and users they serve. The workforce in schools is 70% female, and users of edtech will be 50:50 for students. Diversity must also be in the room when companies are making decisions, designing technology and thinking through strategy. That includes BAME representation,” says Jules Daulby, a literacy, inclusion and assistive technology specialist who co-founded grassroots education movements, WomenEd and WomenEdtech.
“I’d probably be more likely to invest in a founder with experience in education because they know the specific pain points”, says Lang, who invests in eight companies, six of which are female-founded. “Today we have more than 500 team members around the world, including at our offices in Sheffield, Manchester and Australia. We have more than 625,000 resources on our website, ranging from interactive presentations to applications that use augmented reality.”
Edtech is different to other technology sectors, says EdtechX CEO, Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet, because there are comparatively more female-led investment companies where women make decisions about funding. He adds that “women have been historically more involved in education”, which may offer a competitive advantage for being “closer to the opportunities of innovation and disruption”.

Ted Cruz confronts Google with an internal presentation showing how tech companies are leaning toward censorshipGoogle VP of policy Karan Bhatia started sweating early as hearing chair Ted Cruz brings out an internal presentation created within the company. Then we have the Tweeter in Chief leaning towards “all racism, all the time”. Which do you choose, and why? The problem for Ted Cruz is when an algorithm tries to limit hate speech, it tends to censor Republicans more than Democrats. That's probably because Republicans lean more towards hate than your average Democrat. Rafael needs to go back to his own country.
