Education
Our Education Practice has experience serving a wide range of clients around the world. Working with systems and institutions that span pre- and primary, secondary, university, and vocational education, we focus on helping clients deliver substantial and lasting improvements in student achievement. In the past five years alone, we have worked on more than 250 projects in 40 countries on six continents. Our education experts come from a diversity of backgrounds, many having been teachers, policy makers, institutional leaders, and researchers.
We help our clients address some of the most pressing issues facing educators today:
System Strategy and Transformation
We work with clients to transform education systems to deliver improved individual, social, and economic outcomes. Our education teams diagnose the performance of an education system against global best practices and identify the highest-impact opportunities for change. We also design and implement “delivery” programs that aim to ensure that frontline transformation occurs and is sustainable.
Talent and Performance Management
We work with clients to devise strategies to attract, develop, and retain world-class teachers, school leaders, and staff. We help create systemwide accountability systems, develop tools for capturing and managing data, and design strategies to ensure data-driven improvements are institutionalized.
Administration and Operations
We help clients improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their central administrative offices and processes. We also design programs to streamline costs and operations, so that resources can be adequately deployed to classrooms and invested in initiatives that improve a system's performance.
Institutional Strategy and Innovations
We lead strategic planning efforts to launch, scale, or transform the performance of individual institutions—from nongovernmental organizations to universities. We help clients create and scale new innovations and form strategic partnerships across and within sectors.
