The Trust Framework is a set of trust components worked out into deployable principles. It’s designed for EdTech Founders, that want to build a long-lasting, trustworthy business with a perpetual positive effect on (public) education.

Context

Public education finds itself, post COVID, on the eve of rapid digitalisation. In order to achieve the scale and pace of innovation, public education is expected to become more reliant on private EdTech companies. Therefore it will be off strategic importance to look after the public values in this transition. The Trust Framework is an initiative to establish long-term trustworthy private EdTech partners, securing and potentially strengthen the public values in education.

The TrustFramework is opensource and is iteratively built based on rolling releases. Since this is a new field, and resources are limited, the expectation is that it will require significant amount of iterations to get to a more consistent version.

The TrustFramework is an initiative of Educational Leaders and FeedbackFruits, an EU based EdTech scale-up. The dream is to inspire EdTech entrepreneurs and standard setting bodies to strengthen the public values in higher education. Starting with the development of a framework to guide (young) EdTech companies in Trustworthiness by Design.
