World Teachers Day
Let's Celebrate All Teachers!
In our Education programmes, we support teachers in classrooms and also unlock the potential of many volunteers, caregivers and children that wish to contribute to society providing the gift of learning. Let’s celebrate all the formal and informal teachers that are committed to transform education ensuring it reaches even the most vulnerable children, youth and adults in every corner of the world. This page provides you with an overview of some of our wonderful work.

Measuring Evidence of Quality Achieved (MEQA)- MEQA is a digital coaching & monitoring system designed specifically for the Education project models. View the short video below to see how MEQA produces a list of strengths, challenges and recommendations which provides guiding notes for an "on the spot" coaching session between the monitor and the educator. It aims to assist the continuous development of teachers by ensuring that monitoring visits are opportunities of mentorship, rather than simply assessment of standards.
