VVOB – education for development is an international non-profit organisation with over 40 years’ experience in strengthening the quality of education systems in Africa, Asia and South America in close partnership with ministries of education and their institutions. Research shows that, of all school-based factors, the quality of teaching and school leadership has the biggest impact on learning outcomes of learners. As such, the professional development of teachers and school leaders is VVOB’s primary focus in ensuring quality education for all. By working closely with governments, research institutions, committed donors and national, regional and international networks and expertise partners, VVOB strives to maximise the sustainability and potential for upscaling its initiatives.

Children and Youth

In pursuit of quality education, VVOB focuses on strengthening the professional development of teachers and school leaders in the following subsectors: • early education to improve the quality of formal pre-primary education and assist the transition to primary school; • primary education to improve literacy, numeracy and life skills; • secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes; • secondary technical and vocational education and training to improve quality, align knowledge and skills imparted with the labour market and integrate entrepreneurship.

Flagships

Flagships are evidence-informed and scalable initiatives with a distinct regional and international ambition. VVOB’s flagships structurally address persistent educational challenges through key efforts for equitable learning outcomes.

These key efforts are:

  • gender-transformative pedagogy to create learning environments where harmful gender stereotypes are challenged and addressed;
  • effective school leadership to create the conditions for effective teaching and learning;
  • skilling for sustainable futures to ensure young people leave school with high chances of securing decent work.
