Education Development Trust (EDT) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving education, skills, and employment outcomes around the world.
Working across schools, communities, workplaces, and systems, we help partners tackle complex challenges, strengthen capacity, and deliver lasting change.
We work with partners to tackle these complex challenges through a combination of technical expertise, evidence, and practical delivery experience.
Helping governments and partners turn their vision into effective implementation, from design and delivery through to adoption and long-term sustainability.
Using research, data, and learning from practice to inform policy, strengthen programmes, and improve outcomes.
Working with local partners to strengthen institutions, develop workforces, and build the capacity needed to sustain improvement over time.
Identifying effective approaches, adapting them to local contexts, and supporting their expansion to reach more people.
Alongside our long-term programmes and partnerships, we help bring important education and employment challenges into focus. Through initiatives such as Partnering with Purpose, and Getting to work, together, featuring research, events and collaborative projects, we share learning, connect perspectives and explore practical solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
