A trusted partner in reform for Ministries of Education
Turning education reform priorities into meaningful change is rarely straightforward. We work with ministries around the world to strengthen systems, turn ideas into real delivery, and ensure improvements are sustained over time.
The challenges we help ministries solve
Improving learning outcomes at scale
Strengthening teaching, curriculum, assessment, and accountability so more children develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
Developing and supporting the education workforce
Recruiting and training effective teachers, school leaders, and inspectors – and supporting them to stay in the profession.
Making education systems work for everyone
Supporting policy development and improving governance, planning, and use of data, expanding what is possible.
Expanding opportunity for young people
Strengthening pathways from education into employment, while preparing learners for changing labour markets.
Reaching the most marginalised learners
Ensuring reforms improve outcomes for girls, learners with disabilities, displaced populations, and other under-served groups.
Why ministries partner with EDT
We provide evidence you can act on
We know ministries need evidence to make important reform decisions. We help you understand what works, drawing on research, data, and practical experience from education systems around the world.
Experience from policy to implementation
We can support you at every stage, from strategy development and policy design through to delivery, monitoring, and evaluation.
We work through national systems
We strengthen your existing structures and institutions rather than working in parallel, helping reforms to endure long after projects end.
Global experience, local understanding
Our international work means we can draw on a wide range of experience whilst ensuring initiatives reflect local needs and realities.
We've partnered with
Turning policy into practical change in Sierra Leone
In Sierra Leone, we work alongside the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education to support education reform priorities and strengthen delivery across the system.

How we are currently supporting ministries
Here are just a few ways we are currently helping ministries deliver on their priorities.
Partnership with Brunei's Ministry of Education
We have been supporting the Ministry to deliver its bilingual education policy since 1984. Through CfBT Education Services, we continue to provide essential support to Brunei’s Ministry of Education through English language teacher recruitment and development.
Building on successes in education strengthening in Zimbabwe
Between 2021 and 2026, through the TEACH programme, we supported Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to make substantial improvements to the education system, in teaching quality, school inspections, and use of data. Now, we are building on those achievements through new initiatives that will further strengthen inspection and data systems, as well as promote inclusive leadership in schools.
Building stronger schools, capable teachers, and future-ready students in Ethiopia
Working with Imagine1day and Geneva Global in partnership with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Education and the Mastercard Foundation, we are delivering the Leaders in Teaching Ethiopia programme to help students transition into the world of work.
Placing early childhood learning at the heart of education reform in Kenya
Through the INSPIRED programme, we are working with Kenya’s Ministry of Education to improve foundational learning for 200,000 children in Kenya, including 100,000 of the most marginalised.
