Education System Solutions
Educate! partners with governments to improve education quality through system-level change, giving students the space to learn and practice the entrepreneurial and leadership skills needed to thrive in life after school.
When invited by governments, we work together to integrate proven, skills-based experiences into secondary education curricula and pedagogy and continue to evaluate its effectiveness in improving youth life outcomes. This data-driven education reform is the most cost-effective way governments can make a large-scale, sustainable impact on millions of young people.
Together with governments, we co-design a skills-based model that state schools and teachers deliver through policy reform, in-service teacher training, and sustainability structures.
Education System Solution Components
In Kenya, we are supporting the design, pilot, and rollout of a new, skills-based subject: Community Service Learning.
In Rwanda, we have supported the design and implementation of a national education reform through a teacher training and support model (the Educate! Exchange) and additional sustainability structures.

GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIPS
The Educate! Exchange in Rwanda aims to train and support teachers to implement key components of the national curriculum reform:
As part of our technical advisory work, we partnered with the Rwandan Education Board to reform Rwanda’s upper secondary Entrepreneurship curriculum, design a teacher training and support model, and embed sustainability structures to ensure the change lasts.
This approach has measurably impacted youth in 40% of secondary schools in Rwanda.
“Previously, I used to teach innovation and creativity but I wouldn’t give students a chance to come up with products from their environment. However, after going through the training on how skills lab work, I went back to my school and taught the same lesson better; I told the students to go, explore the environment and come up with products. Students surprised me.”
