Session: Innovating under pressure: Keeping learning alive
Date: Friday 23 January 2026
Time: 11:35–12:05
Location: Innovation Theatre
Themes: Sustainability | Budget & Finance | Governance
Sami Yosef, Head of Global Research at ISC Research, will moderate this Bett UK 2026 session exploring how learning continues in the most challenging environments.
When education systems are tested by conflict, economic strain, or failing infrastructure, innovation becomes more than a buzzword — it becomes a necessity. This session brings together perspectives from education, policy, and EdTech to examine how access to learning is being sustained despite instability, funding pressures, and unreliable infrastructure.
Focusing on emerging markets where innovation is driven by necessity, the discussion highlights solutions with measurable, meaningful impact and reinforces the importance of keeping every learner connected to opportunity, regardless of geography or circumstance.
