A sector-led non-profit empowering the education system with data tools and insights.
Increasing collaboration between school groups and EdTech platforms.
"Arbor fully supports open data standards in education, and OEAI's mission to improve education outcomes through data & AI. Arbor will work with OEAI to ensure customers can get their data out in whatever format they need.”
James Weatherill, Founder and CEO, Arbor Education
The education sector has much to gain from the innovation and services provided by EdTech companies. But while no single EdTech company can or should see the full picture of a learner’s education experience, schools and groups should. By bringing schools and school groups’ data together and equipping them with powerful analytical tools and insights, we can help improve educational outcomes and opportunities for everyone, and build a new collaborative relationship between companies and the sector.
Improved data on outcomes can support EdTech companies’ sales function by demonstrating impact, while access to datasets for evaluation and development can help drive faster product improvements.
WHAT WE DO
Empowering schools and school groups
We provide an infrastructure to schools and groups that helps them bring together their data from disparate sources and make sense of the patterns and trends in their organisations.
Together for education
We are more than the sum of our parts. EdTech companies who join OEAI see that acting together leads to better outcomes for pupils and better value for money for schools.
Stronger reputation
EdTech companies who are part of this eco-system and community will benefit through improved reputation and brand, increased trust with the sector and potential future sales.
Access datasets
There is the potential to benefit from access to bigger datasets, where permission is granted through data partnerships with schools and OEAI.
