Problem

Globally, there is an education crisis. Around 600 million children are either not in school at all, or in school and not learning. NewGlobe is committed to helping tackle this through a data driven, evidence based approach that delivers strong schools and a great education for all.

Solution

NewGlobe runs a range of innovative partnerships and supports some Governments to transform their public education systems while in other countries it provides educational opportunity and choice for parents. Bridge leverages in-depth teacher training and support, advanced lesson plans and wireless technology to provide pupils with a meaningful and life-changing education. To date multiple independent national exam results, Studies, RCTs and assessments show Bridge is improving learning gains.

Target Beneficiaries

Families living on under $2 a day, which the World Bank notes is at extreme poverty levels. We do this through supporting national and local Governments to transform their public education systems or through offering parents educational opportunity and choice for their children in affordable community schools.

Mission and Vision

NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, NewGlobe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through impactful partnerships and programmes, NewGlobe ensures that every child has access to an education that will develop their full potential, creating a strong foundation for growth and prosperity.

Competitive Advantage

NewGlobe is the only organisation that is delivering increased learning gains sustainably and at scale for some of the most impoverished communities in the world.

Planned Goals and Milestones

NewGlobe began in order to help solve a single, seemingly intractable problem; hundreds of millions of children worldwide who do not have access to schools that empower and inspire them. We help children in parts of the world where there is a shortage of learning, by boosting government schools and running complementary affordable schools. Since 2007, we have reached 750,000 children through hundreds of schools across Africa and India. We believe every child has the right to education. So, we work in partnership with governments, communities, teachers and parents to improve or deliver high quality nurseries and primary schools in underserved areas. We are data driven and evidence based and our model adapts to the needs of individual governments. We have re-engineered every part of the education system, from teacher training and support, to lesson delivery, construction, and financial administration; making our academies as effective and affordable as possible. In countries such as Kenya, we run affordable schools; whereas in Liberia we are part of a public private partnership, and in Andhra Pradesh — eastern India — we have an infrastructure partnership. Our models hold us accountable to families and governments and we are flexible whenever we can serve more marginalised communities and improve learning outcomes for children.
