Irene Pritzker commented on the last 15 years, “IDP Foundation is proud to celebrate 15 years of powerful partnerships that engineer locally-driven change. We have listened, learnt and adapted, while recognizing the importance of collaborating with government. The Rising Schools Program in Ghana has been the success of many committed stakeholders working together to turn an innovative idea into a scalable reality, that focuses on improving all education for all children, now. We are also proud to be part of Global Schools Forum as a fast-expanding forum that facilitates this collective action so we can get all-hands-on-deck for SDG 4.”
