Commitment

Since our establishment in 2017, we’ve grown our community to 123 organisations spanning 60 countries, collectively running or supporting over 252,772 schools and centres and providing education to over 22.4 million children. Our members are standalone schools; a diverse set of school networks working within or across countries; or organisations providing core support services to non-state schools. 

Our work currently covers three core areas:  

Growing a global, interconnected learning community. We are continuously expanding our community of mission-aligned, non-state organisations across Asia, Africa, and South America. We provide opportunities for our community of leaders to collaborate and learn from each other, as they confront shared operational and pedagogical challenges. Based on the needs and challenges of the community, we curate an annual programme of events and communities of practice.   

Testing promising approaches and diffusing evidence. We fund and support education entrepreneurs to develop, test and scale promising education approaches. We generate and share evidence on ‘what works’ in education and what makes organisations more effective.   

Partnering strategically to shape policy and scale solutions. We enable our community to engage in the strengthening of education systems by engaging in global policy processes, and with support in forging partnerships with other organisations, funders, and policymakers.
