About CIPM

A new solution designed to close the learning poverty gap, the Learning Passport is a tech platform enabling high quality, flexible learning. The Learning Passport is a collaboration between UNICEF, Microsoft and The University of Cambridge to address the challenges faced by over 30 million children and youth to access continued, quality education due to disruptions caused by crisis and displacement.

Our Mission

Enable continuous access to education for children and young people around the world and drive improved learning outcomes through high-quality, portable education to support their entry into other education or opportunity pathways, including formal education.

387 million

children of primary school age who will not achieve minimum proficiency levels in reading and math

30 million

children who are either out of school or have had their education disrupted due to conflict and emergency

Covid-19 response

When the global pandemic hit and schools were closed worldwide, the Learning Passport underwent rapid expansion of its reach. Now all countries with a curriculum capable of being taught online will be able to facilitate online learning for children and youth with devices at home.

Kosovo, Timor-Leste and Ukraine – which have closed their school gates in the past weeks to help halt transmission of the virus – are the first to roll out their online curriculum through the Learning Passport. The content available to school children includes online books, videos and additional support for parents of children with learning disabilities.
