🌍 Launching UWS' Programmes Strategy 2025-2030 at #UNGA80 We are excited to announce UWS’ new Programmes Strategy 2025-2030, setting a bold course towards our vision of Zero Education Poverty – A world where every child is empowered through education to choose their own future. 📚 Our mission over the next five years is to support 260,000 children in remote and marginalised communities, equipping them with Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Skills - the essential building blocks of lifelong learning. We’re evolving our model to partner with local and national governments to embed quality teaching, building national and local capacity to advance national education priorities. Together, we will achieve a x3 increase in significant learning outcomes across both UWS and government schools.

📚✨ Happy World Teachers’ Day! ✨📚 Teachers are the beating heart of education, and when they learn and work together, their impact multiplies This year’s theme, “Recasting teaching as a collaborative profession”, reminds us that collaboration reduces isolation, nurtures creativity, and gives teachers the collective power to transform classrooms and futures. And this matters more than ever: by 2030, the world will need 44 million more teachers to achieve #UniversalEducation. Supporting teachers to stay, grow, and lead is essential. At UWS, we believe teachers are stronger together. From mentoring new colleagues to building professional learning communities, we’re committed to creating the conditions where teachers can thrive. Because when teachers flourish, children flourish too. #WorldTeachersDay #TeamUWS #UWSGlobal #EducationForAll #TeachersMatter
