Better learning outcomes with HP

For the past decade, HP has been a key partner of the Global Business Coalition for Education.

We both believe that education is a fundamental human right and is essential to sustainable development. Since 2015 our teams have worked to support HP’s ambition to deliver better learning outcomes for 100 million people by 2025. Together we have built programs that provide digital equity for the most marginalized students by improving access to quality education to youth impacted by conflicts or school closures.
