Education Networks

FASTlab is a proud collaborating partner in Education Networks, an initiative redefining how educational programs are measured and valued. Led by Education Networks, this project brings together educators, industry, and research partners to create a smarter, evidence-based approach to assessing the real impact of learning.

​

At the centre of the platform is The Value Framework—a proprietary model that goes beyond participation metrics to quantify the true value of education. It measures how programs influence students, communities, and the economy, giving partners across industry and government the confidence to invest in initiatives that deliver measurable, lasting change.

​

What FASTlab is Doing

FASTlab contributes creative research and data design expertise to help shape how impact is visualised, interpreted, and communicated. By integrating design-led storytelling with robust analytics, FASTlab supports Education Networks in transforming complex outcomes into accessible, meaningful insights.

​

Our role focuses on translating data into narratives that demonstrate the human and societal value of education—bridging the gap between numbers and lived experience.

​

Why It Matters

Education has always been about more than attendance or test scores. Through The Value Framework, we can now measure what matters most—how education builds capability, confidence, and connection across communities.

​

By participating in this collaboration, FASTlab helps create tools that make educational investment transparent, accountable, and impactful—showing how learning truly shapes the future of individuals and the economies they help sustain.
