Schools Partnership Programme is EDT's flagship school improvement programme, putting collaboration and peer review at the forefront of sustainable change.

This programme has now ended. The Department for Education’s National Tutoring Programme (NTP) supported schools by providing funding to spend on academic support delivered by trained and experienced tutors and mentors.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has given Building Learning Foundations (BLF) a rating of A+ in its 2023 review. It is the second time BLF has achieved this excellent rating since starting in 2017.

Investing in early career teachers (ECTs) has never been more important. Following Initial Teacher Training, our Early Career Professional Development Programme (ECPDP) offers the essential specialist support needed to improve practice, build confidence and resilience, leading to better job satisfaction and retention.

In recent years, huge strides have been made in girls’ education. In many countries, girls are now just as likely to attend primary school as boys. More girls than ever before are finishing primary school and transitioning to secondary education, and in many countries, female university graduates easily outnumber their male counterparts. So why do we still need to talk about girls’ education? In this article, we explore the systemic challenges which continue to prevent many girls from accessing and completing high-quality education, and the implications of these inequalities for millions of girls and their communities worldwide.

Implemented for 10 years and supported by UKAid, the Girls Education Challenge (GEC) programme reached over 160,000 girls in eight counties across Kenya.

Difficulty transitioning from school to higher education or work remains one of the key barriers facing girls in disadvantaged contexts, with far-reaching implications for their futures and wellbeing. In this report, the first in a three-year research project on girls’ transitions into higher education or work, we seek to understand the challenges facing these girls and highlight promising interventions to support their transitions – including in challenging contexts where marginalisation persists.

When peer review does away with the ‘assessment’ approach and puts schools in charge of their skills growth, that’s where the power of the Schools Partnership Programme lies.
