• Nearly 3,000 healthcare leaders across 15 countries reveal how they are harnessing the power of data and digital technology to address their biggest challenges
• Improving staff satisfaction and retention is a top priority for healthcare leaders, today and three years from now
• One in five (22%) healthcare leaders use predictive analytics for diagnostic guidance, with 68% agreeing predictive analytics can have a positive impact on improving health inequality
• Report indicates challenges still exist, with 46% of healthcare leaders viewing data as more of a burden than an asset

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the publication of its Future Health Index (FHI) 2022 report: ‘Healthcare hits reset: Priorities shift as healthcare leaders navigate a changed world’. Now in its seventh year, the Future Health Index 2022 report, based on proprietary research from almost 3,000 respondents conducted across 15 countries, explores how healthcare leaders are harnessing the power of data and digital technology as they look to address their key challenges coming out of the pandemic.

The 2022 report paints a picture of a sector that is radically re-evaluating priorities as it strives to deliver improved patient care. “As we emerge from the pandemic, healthcare leaders worldwide are embarking on a reboot,” said Jan Kimpen, Chief Medical Officer, Philips. “Many are refocusing on both new and existing priorities, from addressing staff shortages and extending care delivery, to leveraging big data and predictive analytics.”

Go to the report

Staff satisfaction and retention top the priority list for healthcare leaders
Globally, around one in three healthcare leaders (30%) say staff satisfaction and retention combined is a top priority. However, what is driving this priority differs from country to country. For example, in the USA and Germany staff satisfaction and retention is driven by the ‘great resignation’. In India, the ever-increasing demand for more healthcare professionals is the predominant driver. Across all countries, healthcare leaders’ investments in digital technologies will help to improve the staff experience.

While data is seen as an enabler, the potential of predictive analytics remains unfulfilled
Healthcare leaders have confidence in predictive analytics with 71% trusting predictive analytics in clinical settings, and 72% in operational settings. Overall, healthcare leaders see the positive impact of predictive analytics, particularly in health outcomes, patient experience and staff experience, and more than half (56%) have already adopted, or are in the process of adopting, predictive analytics in some form. However, uptake remains uneven, with a marked difference in adoption among developed and emerging countries (65% vs 48%). The FHI 2022 research also indicates even those who are furthest along in adoption of predictive analytics are not leveraging the full potential of the technology.

Overcoming the barriers to effective data use is crucial to gain widespread adoption
While confident in the value of data, healthcare leaders remain frustrated by ongoing barriers to effective data usage, including siloed data (51%) and infrastructure limitations (23%). With cyberattacks increasingly targeting the healthcare sector, one in five (21%) cite concerns about data privacy and security as a top barrier to using data to its full potential. They also say greater data security and privacy systems and protocols are the top way to strengthen their trust in predictive analytics in both clinical (38%) and operational (35%) settings. Additionally, only 19% of healthcare leaders have all the internal expertise they need to fully use the data they have available, while 24% cite the availability of data specialists as a top factor in helping to better utilize data. Despite seeing the potential of data, as a result of these frustrations, nearly half of healthcare leaders (48%) view data as more of a burden than an asset today.

Leaders are fast-tracking social responsibility
The pandemic threw a spotlight on health inequality and healthcare leaders are responding. One-quarter (25%) see addressing health inequality as a priority today, compared to only 12% in 2021. Technology can play a part: two in three healthcare leaders (68%) agree that predictive analytics can have a positive impact on helping to reduce health disparities by providing fast and accurate insights on risk scores to help identify more vulnerable groups for proactive planning to help better manage community health issues like disease outbreaks, cancer incidences and more.

The 2022 report also sees healthcare leaders fast-tracking their sustainability plans. In 2021, just 4% of healthcare leaders worldwide were prioritizing environmental sustainability. This figure has jumped to 24% today; a more than six-fold increase year-over-year.

Since 2016, Philips has conducted original research to help determine the readiness of countries to address global health challenges and build efficient and effective health systems.  For details on the Future Health Index methodology and to access the Future Health Index 2022 report in its entirety, visit our site.

At the 102nd edition of Pitti, authentic, sport-inspired style and bursts of color make the U.S. Polo Assn. brand’s Collection fresh and exciting.

FLORENCE, Italy, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), presents its Spring-Summer Collection 2023 from June 14 to 17 at Pitti Immagine Uomo at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. Join U.S. Polo Assn. on the “Pitti Island,” at Booth 24 Cavaniglia, where the brand will showcase its latest collection celebrating the brand’s heritage in the sport of polo since 1890. See the Collection in a setting that’s inspired by U.S. Polo Assn.’s stores, with a white backdrop beautifully enhanced by the colors of its inspirational products, the presence of its double horseman logo and signature red, white and blue stripe, as well as exciting digital elements, including video and online activations.

The U.S. Polo Assn. Booth #24 will feature a partnership with the sustainability organization, Treedom, and 20 models outfitted in polo attire. Captain of the Italian Polo Team, Stefano Giansanti, as well as Alessandro Giachetti from FISE Polo will be at the U.S. Polo Assn. booth on June 15. U.S. Polo Assn. partners in Italy, Incom, Bonis, EastLab and Eurotrade, will be present at Booth 24 Cavaniglia to proudly show their apparel, footwear, watches, bags and accessories for SS 2023.

“We are thrilled to be attending the 102nd Edition of Pitti Uomo, alongside our Italian partners, where we can bring the classic, sport-inspired style of U.S. Polo Assn. to the trade show floor and all of the event’s attendees,” said Lorenzo Nencini, CEO of Incom, Apparel Division. “Italian consumers love U.S. Polo Assn. for its style, authenticity and comfort, and our Spring-Summer 2023 Collection brings all of that and more with beautiful colors, fabrics and accents. Our brand offerings just get better and better every season.”

Fitting with this year’s Pitti Island theme based on “a land of discovery, exploration and visionary concepts,” the U.S. Polo Assn. Spring-Summer ’23 Collection highlights a burst of color and is designed for an active, modern lifestyle. It’s inspired, as always, by the sport of polo with which the brand has an unbreakable bond. The Collection’s Spring-Summer colors speak not only to bright hues and tones but also to bold use of prints, patterns and stripes. Two important themes throughout the collection are the use of sustainable materials as well as a consistent leisurewear style that’s laid-back and comfortable. These themes are beyond trend and are now a way of life.

“U.S. Polo Assn. is grateful for the loyal consumers here in Italy and around the world, and we plan to bring some excitement to the Pitti Uomo show with this Collection, while also showcasing our brand’s authentic connection to the sport of polo,” said J. Michael Prince, President & CEO of USPAGL, the company that manages and oversees the multi-billion-dollar global sport-inspired U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Personally, I am excited to be here in Florence representing U.S. Polo Assn. with such outstanding partners as Incom, Bonis, EastLab and Eurotrade, who represent the very best of what our global brand has to offer.”

The U.S. Polo Assn. Men’s and Women’s Collection SS 2023 is divided into four design themes:

In the Heritage Collection, the classic and unmistakable inspiration comes from the winning spirit of the sport. U.S. Polo Assn.’s classics stay fresh and new by incorporating modern elements and special design details. The U.S. Polo Assn. red, white and blue signature stripe epitomizes the brand’s DNA and represents the traditional colors of the American flag. Within the Collection are iconic garments with polo-inspired graphics and bold plaids, stripes and prints.

The USPA Life Collection is made with sustainable materials and processes that are designed to help protect the planet for future generations. The style of USPA Life focuses on a combination of natural and pastel colors, such as terracotta, sand, light blue, natural, and pink. Within the collection are organic cotton jersey and piqué, along with pure linen shirts overdyed with pigments that are not harmful to the environment. Polo shirts and t-shirts in Supima cotton and ultralight cotton knitwear with linen-cotton blend yarn affirm U.S. Polo Assn.’s commitment to better fabrications.

The USPA Life product features identifying labels and a logo promoting the colors of USPA Life – white, navy and field green – the consumer’s cue to the brand’s sustainably sourced product. U.S. Polo Assn. in Italy is partnering with Treedom, a Certified B Corporation and global web platform established and based in Florence, to promote the planting of trees and forests worldwide with the aim of making the planet greener.

USPA Sport is a modern approach to athleisure apparel. This collection is characterized by its comfortable and casual approach that includes technical yarns and design details that fit our active and busy lifestyles. Color stands out here with color blocking, piecing and bold graphics. This approach speaks to the competitive nature of polo, as well as the outdoor elements of the sport. The line is dominated by power colors such as white, royal blue, violet, hibiscus, orange and lime yellow. The collection is marked by experimentation and creativity, not only in the choice of colors but also in the variety of fabrics offered.

A special capsule, only available in Italy, is the USPA Fluo Collection, showcasing spirited fluorescent colors that are perfect for warm spring and summer days. The solid pigment-dyed process gives these ultra-bright colors a special glow while maintaining a vintage style. In contrast, another part of the Collection is dominated by accenting classic colors, optical white and navy blue with pops of color. These details, whether fluorescent mini stripes or contrasting logos, add an unexpected element. It’s this type of bold apparel that fully represents the heritage of the game.

The SS23 Footwear Collection combines the double horseman brand’s style and elegance with the ability to connect the sport and fashion worlds. The sport of polo is reflected in the footwear collections, which merge the American tradition with new trends every year. The premium model ELITE has been brought back to the scene, thanks to a renewed design and the introduction of new colours both for men’s and women’s styles. A new star of this collection is the ETHAN, which is considered a running shoe with a slight insole. The BRYAN is an essential sneaker with a vintage effect, that also uses technology for the lasering of the brand’s logo in contrast with the upper. The SETH, made for both men and women, features vibrant colours and technical details of both a running shoe and as overall outdoor footwear. Finally, there is the MAREW model, a colorful unisex sneaker made of canvas. Its psychedelic graphic is a celebration of Pride Month, in which self-affirmation, dignity and equality of the LGBTQ+ community are promoted.

Plug’s 100 MW Electrolyzers Will Produce 35 Tons Per Day of Green Hydrogen for European Market

LATHAM, N.Y., June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, will build a 35-tons-per-day green hydrogen generation plant at Port of Antwerp-Bruges in the heart of Europe.

Plug signed a 30-year concession agreement to build the plant at the Belgian port, the second largest in Europe. Plug plans to erect a 100-megawatt green hydrogen plant, using its own electrolyzer and liquefaction technology, on 28 acres of land leased under the agreement. Plug will produce up to 12,500 tons per year of liquid and gaseous green hydrogen for the European market.

Construction of the plant will begin upon completion of the permitting process, anticipated in late 2023. Initial production of green hydrogen is expected in late 2024, and plant commissioning will be in 2025.

“As Europe grapples with the challenges of climate change and energy security, our agreement with Port of Antwerp-Bruges will deliver much-needed natively generated, green hydrogen to local markets,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug. “The energy crisis in Europe resulting from geopolitical risks has accelerated the demand for green hydrogen development projects.”

Minister-President of Flanders Jan Jambon noted: “Hydrogen plays an important role in the energy transition and at the same time offers many economic and societal opportunities for Flanders. Due to the strategic location of our ports and the expertise of our companies, research centers and educational institutions, we have all the assets to become the hydrogen hub of Western Europe. An opportunity that we must not miss. Plug’s choice for Antwerp is the result of the strong relationship that I, the Flemish Government, Flanders Investment & Trade, and the Port have built with the company. At the same time, it confirms the role that Flanders plays in renewable energy. I am therefore very pleased to welcome Plug in Flanders.”

Belgium’s Minister of Energy Tinne Van der Straeten said: “Belgium is determined to play a pioneering role in the breakthrough of large-scale green hydrogen. It is an objective that is well reflected in the federal hydrogen vision and strategy ‘Green hydrogen for a clean industry.’ That strategy is built on four pillars: positioning Belgium as an import and transit hub in Europe, becoming a leader in hydrogen, establishing a robust hydrogen market and investing in cooperation as a key success factor. Companies like Plug, who integrate their activities into our federal strategy, are the best example that we are moving in the right direction. This way, we can achieve our climate goals to reduce greenhouse gasses by 55% in 2030 and become the first climate neutral continent by 2050. This will be a strategy that pays off for Belgium, for employment and for the climate.”

Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO Port of Antwerp-Bruges, added: “The signing of Plug Power is a confirmation of the attractiveness of our port and NextGen District. Their project is exactly what we have in mind when it comes to circular economy. We are giving hydrogen every opportunity as an energy carrier and fuel and are therefore committing ourselves as an active pioneer in the hydrogen economy. I thank Plug Power for its trust and all parties involved.”

A hydrogen hub of the future

Port of Antwerp-Bruges sits in a strategic location in Europe. At the center of the largest chemical industry cluster in Europe and close to the North Sea, it provides transportation connections to Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, U.K., and France. It is less than an hour’s drive to Brussels, the capital of Europe.

The port area is also one of the busiest logistics areas in Europe, handling annually 289 million tons of maritime freight, 24 million tons of rail freight, and 108.5 million tons of barge freight. Sixty percent of Europe’s purchasing power is located within 300 miles.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges, set to become a major hydrogen hub for Europe, has plans to be a lighthouse port for climate-neutral infrastructure. Through its new green hydrogen plant, Plug is committed to playing a pivotal role in helping Port of Antwerp-Bruges achieve this ambition.

Ideal site for generation of hydrogen

The site location provides the opportunity for a ready supply of electricity from on-site and site-adjacent wind turbines generating dozens of megawatts, with an electric interconnection point less than a mile away. In addition, the site offers water, road, rail, and pipeline access for the delivery of green hydrogen to customers. An open-access hydrogen pipeline will be built along the site, and Plug has signed a contract with Fluxys to engage in a feasibility study for enabling a connection to the pipeline, which will be part of a European open-access hydrogen backbone.

Plug will build in the port’s NextGen District, an area dedicated to companies supporting the circular economy. Leveraging the cluster being assembled in the NextGen district, Plug is exploring partnerships to complete the circular use of wastewater expelled during the production of green hydrogen.

The hydrogen produced at the site will serve multiple clients at the port

More than 1,500 acres of covered warehousing at Port of Antwerp-Bruges supports heavy manufacturing industries. Plug will contribute to decarbonizing the logistics flows of the port, with material handling solutions, fuel cell vans through HYVIA – a joint venture between Plug and Renault, and stationary power solutions for shore power.

North Sea countries are major producers of wind power with over 15 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity. They have committed to grow capacity to 65 GW by 2030 and 150 GW by 2050, as part of a recent cooperation agreement signed by Belgium, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The European Union recently launched a $315 billion REPowerEU initiative to support the shift from Russian fossil fuels to renewable energy including green hydrogen.

Trans-Atlantic Partnership Drove Agreement

The announcement of this project illustrates the strength of trans-Atlantic cooperation between a leading international technology company and a forward-thinking European port operator. Plug is building out an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem across the world, focused on hub locations with attractive economics and strong customer demand. Europe is core to Plug’s strategy, reflected in multiple recent investments, such as the opening of a service and logistics center in Duisburg, Germany, the acquisition of Netherlands-based Frames Group, and the inauguration of a hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicle production plant with Renault in Flins, France.

“Plug is already one of the largest investors in the European hydrogen economy, and one of the largest employers in Europe among the hydrogen pure players. Our investment in a green hydrogen production plant in the heart of Europe deepens our commitment to the European market,” added Marsh. “Europe is determined to shift from foreign sources of fossil fuel energy to local sources of green energy, and we are helping to deliver on their vision.”

Satellite radar and machine learning publicly reveal previously unseen vessel activity around the world

Washington, D.C., June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Fishing Watch has developed and publicly released the first ever global map of previously undetected dark fleets, or vessels that do not broadcast their location or appear in public monitoring systems.

Powered by satellite radar imagery and machine learning, the map layer is updated daily within the main Global Fishing Watch map application. The portal is available for free to anyone in the world with an internet connection, helping arm authorities, researchers and the public alike with the power to monitor vessel activity in all coastal waters, identify dark fleet patterns and build the necessary understanding to quantify threats to the ocean. The user-friendly new map layer helps create equitable access to marine-related data in time for World Ocean Day on June 8.

The lack of information pertaining to how and where vessels are fishing has clouded our understanding of the true global footprint of fishing activity. This makes meaningful change difficult. To see these impacts, satellite radar technology, known as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), functions day and night in all types of weather and can generate imagery despite cloud cover or storm systems, resulting in detection capabilities that are significantly advanced over other satellite-mounted sensors.

“It is surprising how little we have known to date about the true scale of human activity on the water,” said David Kroodsma, director of research and innovation at Global Fishing Watch. “If you combine vessels that intentionally shut off their signal with the significant number of boats that don’t make their whereabouts known in public systems at all, you end up with gaps in data, monitoring and accountability. We are using satellite radar imagery to reduce that information gap and put our findings at the fingertips of those who want to ensure our ocean is managed equitably and sustainably.”

The new global map layer draws from a massive data-processing pipeline and uses machine learning to crunch petabytes, or millions of gigabytes, of radar imagery taken by the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 satellites. By analyzing the entire archive of Sentinel-1 radar imagery, Global Fishing Watch has made 20 million detections of sea-going vessels greater than approximately 10 meters in length—and matched these detections to 100 billion GPS points from vessels broadcasting their position on the automatic identification system. This matching differentiates vessels that broadcast their position from those that remain dark in public monitoring systems, resulting in more comprehensive views of vessel movements across the global ocean. This information can help authorities pinpoint areas with suspicious activity and identify vessel patterns that may indicate illegal activity or previously unquantified fishing pressures.

Global Fishing Watch used satellite radar and optical imagery to reveal around 900 vessels of Chinese origin fishing illegally in North Korean waters in violation of United Nations sanctions—the largest known case of illegal fishing by an industrial fleet operating in another nation’s waters. Global Fishing Watch has since improved and expanded its use of satellite radar to study previously unseen fishing activity near marine protected areas in the Mediterranean Sea and hotspots of previously hidden activity in coastal waters around Africa. This emerging method of “seeing” vessels is revealing that the ocean is far busier than conventional monitoring systems show.

“While there are often legitimate reasons for not broadcasting a vessel’s location—not all governments require it—illegal operators will often turn off their signals to conceal their activity,” added Kroodsma. “The use of satellite radar to detect and map previously hidden and potentially illegal or harmful activity has opened a new realm of possibilities for remote sensing and big tech’s battle for the environment.”

Amplifying the potential of satellite radar technology, Global Fishing Watch partnered with the Defense Innovation Unit in July 2021 to host the xView3 competition. The challenge invited machine learning developers from all over the world to create and submit computer algorithms to help detect dark vessels, drawing 1,900 registrants from 67 countries. Global Fishing Watch is using the winning entries announced earlier this year to refine and advance dark vessel detection methods at global scale, and expects to be able to shed light on many human activities on the ocean in the near future.

“By seeing and characterizing the activity of these expansive dark fleets, we can begin to better understand and quantify not just illegal fishing but a great deal of human activity that is impacting our marine environment,” said Paul Woods, chief innovation officer at Global Fishing Watch. “These are exciting times when it comes to open, accessible data that anyone can use for free to understand and advocate for the fragile marine areas they care about most.”

About satellite radar imagery: Satellite radar is able to overcome limitations of other satellite-based monitoring systems with its ability to see through rain, darkness and cloud cover. Radar can detect at-sea vessels and structures in any weather conditions and its imaging capabilities make it one of the most powerful tools of remote sensing. Satellite radar is an active sensor that shoots microwaves to the earth surface and measures the amplitude and phase of the signals that are reflected back from objects on the ground and water, known as backscatter. The images formed from this backscatter contain rich information about size, orientation, composition, condition and texture of the features on the water. These imaging systems hold an advantage over passive satellite sensors, such as electro-optical imagery, which is similar to taking a picture with a camera and relies on sunlight and/or the infrared radiation emitted by objects on the ground. This latter method can be confounded by cloud cover, haze, weather events, and seasonal darkness at high latitudes. Satellite radar by comparison has proven to be the most consistent option for detecting vessels at sea.

Global Fishing Watch is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency of human activity at sea. By creating and publicly sharing map visualizations, data and analysis tools, we aim to enable scientific research and transform the way our ocean is managed. We believe human activity at sea should be public knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean for the common good of all.

Gen Zers are more willing to share biometrics info than details from their social media accounts

FreedomPay

How well do you know your customers?

PHILADELPHIA, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New research released today from FreedomPay, conducted in partnership with Cornell University, a leader in Hotel Administration and Hospitality Management, explores Gen Z student’s attitudes towards data privacy and their willingness to share their personal information. Age, email, income, and GPS location were among other personal details the study explored and participants willingness to share with payment platforms and merchants.

The research – which surveyed 200 Cornell Generation Z students, defined as those born in 1995 or later – found that the perceived privacy level of a piece of information has a significant impact on participants’ willingness to share with third parties, such as banks and retailers.

To start, the researchers first determined how participants might categorize the privacy level for several pieces of data. Placed on a 6-point scale, with 1 equaling extremely unlikely to share and 6 equaling extremely likely to share, the data items were sorted as follows:

Rewards Incentivize Sharing
The findings indicate that customers are more inclined to give out personal information if there is a reward involved, and participants were clear about how much – and what data – they would be more willing to share.

Within these privacy level categories of low, medium, and high, data in the medium category was the most likely to be swayed by a monetary reward. The research also suggested that Gen Z appears to be generally less willing to share their personal information than other groups.

The study found that a $15 reward incentive seemed to have limited impact on respondent’s willingness to disclose high-level privacy details. On the other side of the spectrum, a monetary reward also seemed to have a minimal influence for low level data sharing, considering that participants are generally more agreeable to part with this information.

Taking a closer look at the data, in offering Gen Zers a $15 reward, their willingness to share data increases across the three privacy categories:

• 11% more likely to share low-privacy data
• 27% like to share medium-privacy information
• High-privacy data is more likely to be shared 24%

Additionally, the research revealed preferences in terms of the rewards offered for sharing information as well:

• Participants prefer cash discount to loyalty points (at 69% and 31% respectively)
• They are likely to choose loyalty points if that value is 20x greater than cash discount value
• For those Gen Zers who prefer loyalty points, food & beverage was the most preferred category (at 44)
• The least popular options include debit cards, gas, grocery stores, and the hospitality industry
• Other participants were equally likely to choose food & beverage and retailers equally

Among the generations, Gen Zers earned the lowest score revealing they are less willing to share personal details than other generations – re-emphasizing that this generation does place a high priority on privacy issues.

“We were so delighted to be able to work with these outstanding students, who were able to uncover some truly great insights about Gen Z and how they think about data and their threshold for sharing,” said Liesl Smith, Senior Vice President Marketing & Sales Enablement at FreedomPay. “While they are privacy-oriented and have clear priorities on what to protect – one student shared that her social media accounts were as important to her as her Social Security number – there are also clear opportunities for retailers and merchants to reach these consumers with the right mix of promotions.”

“Our students have enjoyed being able to partner with FreedomPay on this excellent research,” noted Aija Leiponen, Professor of Strategy and Business Economics at Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. “All partners were fully engaged which enabled our students to truly dive in and try to uncover the fundamentals of this generation and how they view and protect their data privacy.”

NewGlobe-supported school

Students and teacher at a NewGlobe-supported school in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Nobel Prize-winning economist has confirmed ‘learning gains among the largest ever measured’ in schools by any major study in emerging markets.

The study, led by Professor Michael Kremer, 2019 Nobel Prize winner, finds children living in underserved communities receive over 53% more learning in NewGlobe supported schools throughout their early childhood and primary education compared to students in other schools.

The findings were announced by Professor Kremer at the Education World Forum and suggest a potential solution to learning poverty.

Replicated across public education systems, the gains would put African children from underserved communities on track to outperform or match peers in countries with incomes four times higher.

The groundbreaking study finds children taught using New Globe’s methods are three times more likely to be able to read at age seven. The World Bank estimates 90% of 10 year olds in Africa can’t read.

The most disadvantaged students gain the most. Girls make the same learning leap as boys.

NewGlobe delivers a standard deviation increase of 1.35 in pre-primary learning and 0.81 in primary learning, easily in the top 1% of learning gains ever rigorously studied at scale in emerging markets.

The results are an affirmation of NewGlobe’s integrated learning system – used by governments across Africa and South Asia to support a million students today and growing year-on-year.

Learning gains comparison

Learning gains in NewGlobe-supported schools compared with others studied

The two-year study is based on a large-scale randomized control trial of more than 10,000 students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Kenya.

• After two years, primary students taught using NewGlobe’s methods are nearly a whole additional year of learning ahead of students in other schools.
• For pre-primary students, two years’ teaching using NewGlobe’s methods puts them a year-and-a-half of additional learning ahead of other students.

• 82% of Grade 1 students – six/seven-years-old – in NewGlobe-supported schools can read a sentence, compared with 27% in other schools.
• Students starting from lowest learning levels gain the most. NewGlobe-supported students outperform their peers across all test scores, but with differences greatest for students with the lowest prior learning.

Professor Kremer said:

“The effects in this study are among the largest in the international education literature, particularly for a program that was already operating at scale… attending schools delivering highly standardized education has the potential to produce dramatic learning gains at scale, suggesting that policymakers may wish to explore incorporation of standardization, including standardized lesson plans and teacher feedback and monitoring, in their own systems.”
