“Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire!”
William Butler Yeats
Changing the world through changing education
Imagine a school for children from the poorest of families – but where all graduates leave with the skills and experience needed to generate wealth for themselves and their communities. Imagine a school in a developing country which is able to support itself without relying on subsidies – and yet is able to afford the best facilities and the best teachers.
These schools exist. The change is happening.
This is your chance to be part of it
