A new framework aimed at helping businesses to realize business benefits while advancing global education goals was recently announced by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at a CEO summit in New York.
Developed by UNESCO, UNICEF, the UN Special Envoy for Global Education, and the UN Global Compact (GC), The Smartest Investment: A Framework for Business Engagement in Education helps firms make the case that education is not only good for society but also good for business by outlining how to make the case internally about why they should engage in education, selecting appropriate activities and acting in a responsible manner.
