Flagship initiatives

Models that scale nations

What education transformation looks like when it is designed at the scale of a whole system.
Proving the model

Two initiatives in delivery

Infrastructure, capacity and pathways designed as a single piece of work.
  • Africa

    Education to Opportunity

    Turning education systems into engines of economic opportunity.

    • Digital learning infrastructure
    • Teacher capacity building
    • Employability pathways
    • Education-to-industry links
  • GCC

    Institutional Digital Transformation

    Powering national visions for knowledge-based economies.

    • National digital platforms
    • Implementation systems
    • Academic and operational models
    • Institutional onboarding

In the field

What it looks like on the ground

Infrastructure, teacher training and pathways have to reach a classroom together to be worth anything, which is where a design either holds or comes apart.
System level

What system level means

A flagship initiative is not a larger programme. It is a different unit of work, with a different set of obligations.

A flagship initiative is

  • Built with the institution, with delivery capacity transferred
  • Measured against a baseline the partner can audit
  • Aligned to national curricula, regulation and workforce priorities
  • Designed to keep running after we step back

It is not

  • A programme with a bigger budget
  • A pilot that reports only to us
  • A product the partner has to design around
  • An engagement that ends at handover

Working at country level

Ministries and national foundations planning something system-wide can start with a scoping conversation.
