Sustainable education
New vision for education in developing countries
Universal primary education will never be enough to give young people from developing countries a real chance to escape poverty. It requires post-primary education focused on practical and business skills to match genuine opportunities within their communities. Unfortunately, governments have failed time and again to provide the resources for such education. If governments can't or won't meet this need, non-state actors will have to rise to the challenge.
But the old model of charity-funded short-term education projects is also not sufficient to create lasting capacity - what's needed is to build institutions that are financially sustainable, allowing them to meet the need for education in their community indefinitely.
That is why international education community is looking now for such approaches and models which are sustainable, but also replicable and scalable. The model of Financially Sustainable Schools for Rural Entrepreneurs created by Teach A Man To Fish meets all these criteria and is currently being successfully replicated in a number of schools around the world.

Financially Sustainable Schools offer high-quality technical & business training to poor, unemployed youth. Unlike traditional schools which focus on passing exams, Financially Sustainable Schools not only equip students for entry to higher education, but also provide them the skills required for employment in formal businesses and / or success in their family enterprises, thereby allowing them to overcome poverty.
