Making a measurable difference: our impact in 2023-24

We are delighted to share our latest annual impact reviews. This year we have produced a global highlights review, along with three regional reviews detailing our impact in the UK, the Global South, and the Middle East and Asia.

Between September 2023 and August 2024, we worked in 39 countries in both low- and high-income contexts. We supported governments and other partners to deliver professional development programmes, improve schools, provide employability, skills and careers guidance, and strengthen education systems at scale. We helped educators grow in confidence, enabled marginalised children to learn, empowered schools to support each other, and contributed to the global evidence base of ‘what works’ in education.

Our purpose at EDT is to improve the life chances of individuals by improving education and skills outcomes, and we are proud of the impact we have made on people at the different stages of life. From the three-year-old entering education for the first time, to the student studying for their exams; from the young person wondering what to do when they leave school, to the adult wishing to upskill or change their career. And as several exciting new programmes get underway, we are looking forward to making an even bigger impact in the months and years to come.

Our purpose at EDT is to increase the life chances of the people we support by improving education and skills outcomes. To know whether we are making a difference, we need a clear understanding of the results of our work. All operational teams at EDT have targets for the impact they are making on beneficiaries, and they report on performance regularly. This review draws upon the resulting data for 2023–24.
