uQualio has been honored with the Silver Badge for Equity by the International Certification of Evidence of Impact in Education (ICEIE). This prestigious recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity and equity in educational technology.
What is the ICEIE Silver Badge for Equity?
The ICEIE is the first and only international certification of evidence of impact in education. Built around the framework of the 5Es (Efficacy, Effectiveness, Ethics, Equity, and Environment), these certifications provide documentation of evidence of impact in five areas.
The ICEIE Silver Badge for Equity is awarded to organizations that demonstrate a profound dedication to equitable practices in their products and services. This certification evaluates companies based on:
- Inclusive Design: Ensuring that products are accessible and beneficial to diverse learner groups.
- Bias Mitigation: Actively identifying and addressing potential biases within educational tools.
- Transparency and Accountability: Maintaining open communication with users and stakeholders about product development and feedback integration.
Achieving this certification involves a rigorous assessment process, validating that the organization meets high standards of equity and inclusivity.
