Prestigious WISE Award was honoured to Safina Hussain at the WISE 11 Summit (World Innovation Summit for Education).
The WISE Prize for Education is the first global award of its kind that honours an individual for outstanding contributions to education.
Educate Girls is an example of this innovative approach, using AI to identify villages with a high number of out-of-school girls.
More than 21,000 gender champions go door-to-door in India’s most remote villages to identify these girls.
Working in partnership with government and communities, Educate Girls reintegrates them into the formal education system.
Educate Girls has mobilized over 14 lakh girls to enroll and provided remedial education to over 19 lakh students since its inception through this comprehensive approach in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar.
The WISE prize was established in 2009 by the Qatar Foundation under the visionary leadership of its Chairperson, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.
WISE (World Innovation Summit for Education) has evolved into an international, multi-sector platform dedicated to promoting innovation and evidence-based approaches in education.
