About Education Development Trust

We have been working with governments, donor agencies, schools, leaders and teachers to effect and embed sustainable change for 50 years. As part of our charitable mission, we invest annually in a major programme of education research, which is available to download from our website. The insights from this research inform the projects we deliver, as well as influencing policymaking and supporting practitioners around the world.

In addition to our work in the early years sector in England, we deliver career and enrichment services in schools and community settings as well as provide CPD and learning support programmes to educators and school leaders across all stages of their career. We are proud that across our programmes in UK during the 2020/21 period, we supported over 17,000 education practitioners.

Further afield, our teams are working to improve education and transform lives across the globe by coaching teachers in informal slum schools in Nairobi, developing the skills of English and maths teachers in every primary school in Rwanda, helping Jordanian school supervisors to use research evidence to improve teaching in government schools, and supporting expert teachers in Brunei to improve the practice of their peers.
