Governance

Our work is underpinned by our values of excellence, integrity, accountability, collaboration and inclusion. Our governance structure is designed to ensure that these values are continuously evidenced and demonstrated.

The trustees oversee the executive team who, in turn, manage Education Development Trust staff across the globe. In addition, multiple boards and committees ensure transparency and accountability throughout the organisation.
