With over ten years of experience operating our model directly in Ugandan secondary schools, we’ve tested, refined, and continually strengthened this core model to ensure maximum impact on youth.
Educate! believes that reshaping education to prepare youth for dignified livelihoods and employment can transform lives. Our proven direct-delivery model gives secondary school students the space to build and practice critical skills, ultimately driving measurable change for themselves and their communities.
Direct-Delivery Model
Educate! has impacted hundreds of thousands of students through our direct-delivery model, the Educate! Experience, which we’ve run in schools in Uganda since 2009.
“Scholars don’t get scores, they fight for knowledge. As a Scholar you make your own dreams come true.”
Educate! is working to deepen our impact in Uganda, now optimizing our model and measurably impacting over 30,000+ youth annually through this model.
Copylefting: It’s only right
Educate! believes in paying it forward. Our curriculum was developed with the support of leading organizations around the world. We show our gratitude for their help and support by freely sharing our curriculum with everyone working for a common goal.
We are completely open-source with our curriculum. What does that mean exactly? We copyleft it, the opposite of copyright, to ensure that we can have the greatest impact possible around the world. So far, we have shared our curriculum with over 150 organizations. Much of the curriculum can be applied across cultures and many of our copylefting partners tailor the case studies and other aspects of the curriculum to their local contexts.
