【概要】
Innovative finance has considerable potential in education, yet the sector has lagged several others (climate change, household finance, health) in adopting such techniques.  However, there are some recent signs of movement, in part stimulated by the report and follow-up actions of The International Commission on Financing Global Educational Opportunity and, more recently, through endorsement by the SDG4-Education 2030 Steering Committee, although the endorsement is rather ambiguous.  The presentation will review the history of innovative financing in education, survey recent developments, discuss possible reasons for the sector’s slow adoption of innovative financing despite SDG4’s massive financing needs, and suggest some priorities for the future.
