Director of Partnerships, ImpactEd Evaluation
“How much EdTech gets bought without any evidence it works? Kristy Evers has a view on this. It’s not a comfortable one for the industry.”
Kristy Evers works at ImpactEd, an organisation built around the principle that procurement decisions in education should be grounded in evidence. She sits at the point where commercial reality meets the demand for genuine accountability.
