Opportunity Matters – IDRA 2011 Annual Report

IDRA’s annual report tells stories of our work through three strategies. (1) With compelling facts, we make the case for quality schools for all; (2) by nurturing sustainable connections, we seek to produce significant results for children; and (3) in promoting courageous leadership, we aim to catalyze action and change that creates quality schooling for all. The pace of human connectivity and information sharing around the globe is now set to double every year. Educational opportunity needs that quickening pace and that exponential growth.
