EduEvidence

The EduEvidence Methodology outlines how the total impact score for each product is created and calculated. The score is used to rank products in the database and is recommended to national governments and schools.

The EduEvidence certification system uses a double-validation process agreed in 2023 by an international consortium of scholars, practitioners, industry leaders, and policymakers. Certification indicates that a product’s impact claims have been independently validated.

The form is for companies participating in the collaboration between Eduevidence.org and HundrED. Registration is free for HundrED cohorts; others are directed to the public registration form.

The EduEvidence certification is for products and is validated against established international benchmarks.

EduEvidence partners with FabAI and KORA Benchmarks to evaluate AI models behind assessed products and features. The database includes relevant benchmark results alongside product- and feature-level evidence.

The case study examines implementing the EduEvidence 5E Framework in the Netherlands. It describes the framework as a structured, research-grounded approach to evaluating EdTech solutions.

EduEvidence adopted the EdTech Viability Framework as a complement to the 5Es. The framework assesses whether the conditions needed to implement a solution are in place.

Rebecca Chandler Leege from Worldreader and Savitri Mohapatra from Access Agriculture explain their research and how they achieved their certifications.

Esben Trier is EduEvidence’s managing director. In 2023 and 2024, EduEvidence began discussions with researchers, the EdTech industry, funders, and policymakers to align evaluation criteria and support international comparability.

EduEvidence, officially registered as the International Certification of Evidence of Impact in Education, is a not-for-profit, membership-based association owned by its members under Norwegian law. It was founded by an international group of researchers in education impact evaluation.

EduEvidence says its certifications are recognized by policymakers, school districts, and state procurement teams in global markets. It also collaborates with organizations that make the certification visible to schools.
