Education Overview

World Learning believes that education fosters strong civil society and promotes positive change. The World Learning approach is rights-based and student-centered, rooted in the concepts of equality, active participation, and social inclusion.
 
Collaborating with communities, parents, government agencies, and educational institutions, programs work to improve the quality of education while actively seeking to remove barriers to education. A key priority is to support vulnerable and underserved populations including ethnic and religious minorities, street children, HIV/AIDS-affected children, child laborers, and disadvantaged girls.
 
Projects include educational and professional development programs that address the needs of policy makers, teacher educators, and teachers pursuing educational reform. Working in partnership at the local, regional, and national levels, World Learning designs and implements teacher education programs using face-to-face, online, and blended learning formats, and develops highly customized curricula targeted to specialized needs in local communities.
 
In addition, World Learning is active in the vocational and higher education sectors, delivering quality training and overseeing academic programs at US universities for undergraduate and graduate students from 50 countries.
