PowerSchool Joins UNESCO Global Education Coalition to Support the Digital Transformation of Education Worldwide

As part of the Global Education Coalition, PowerSchool will also support the Digital Transformation Collaborative

PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America, today announced it has joined UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition. The Coalition, established in March 2020 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the amplified inequities in education it revealed, brings together 200 members to provide expertise, strategic direction, resources, and leadership to keep learning going and leave no student behind.

“We're proud to join UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition and support their mission to protect the right to education and keep learning going during times of unprecedented disruption,” said Stewart Monk, Senior Vice President & General Manager, International at PowerSchool. “At PowerSchool, we envision a future in which every classroom teacher, administrator, principal, and counselor has easy access to the data and information they need, clearly conveyed through AI-powered tools, and tailored to their individual role. We understand the tremendous impact this Coalition has on global education and look forward to continuing the change PowerSchool strives to create for educators and students across the world.”

This partnership aligns with PowerSchool’s mission to support educators, administrators, and families to help students learn in a way that’s right for them. PowerSchool supports every step of the learning journey so students can succeed in their own way by connecting the information educators need to see the full picture of every student’s unique needs and bringing the best of K-12 educational and operational technology together to make it easier to create and deliver an experience designed for each student.

Through the Digital Transformation Collaborative, PowerSchool will continue to support the digital transformation of education by building systems that can quickly adapt to meet the skills required of tomorrow’s workforce. PowerSchool will support the Coalition’s objective to provide sustainable, scalable digital transformation in education through offering our expertise, training, and technology.
