What we do

Evidence and skills for educational change

We work with government, development partners, schools and communities to understand what works in education — and to put it into practice.

Research and studies

Action research, case studies, policy analysis and field studies that inform decisions at school, local and national level.

Evaluation and assessment

Baseline, mid-term and endline evaluations, early-grade reading assessments and national student achievement surveys.

Performance audits

Independent performance audits of schools, ECED centres, resource centres and district education offices.

Training and vocational skills

Teacher training, education management training and vocational courses for young people in remote communities.

Curriculum and materials

Curricula, assessment frameworks, training packages and teaching–learning materials.

Community support

Libraries, learning materials, meals and relief for children and schools in need.

In the news

“Teaching the teachers”

Nepal’s Kantipur daily featured FEDUC’s e-learning programme, which trained public school teachers in Kavre to use computers and digital materials in their classrooms.

It is one example of how FEDUC invests its own resources to test new ideas that can change everyday teaching practice.
