With a focus on teacher development, leadership training, and policy dialogue, the company has been able to impact the lives of over 181,300 teachers and trainers, 4,524 education leaders, and engage with 327 ministerial and policy decision-makers.

Challenge:
Evolve Global Solutions initially faced the challenge of improving teacher development in the education sector. However, they soon realized that without the support of leaders and managers, it was difficult to sustain and support the changes brought about by the teacher development programmes. Thus, the company expanded its focus to include leaders at the institution, regional, and national levels.

Solution:
Evolve Global Solutions provided technical assistance, training, and coaching to education leaders, policymakers, and trainers to support teacher development, leadership training, and policy dialogue in 33 countries. The company engaged in policy dialogues and designed interactive series of events that brought together key players responsible for training and employment in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The goal was to identify the strengths, gaps, and needs for TVET reform by country in preparation for developing the business case for UK Government’s Prosperity Fund grants.

Evolve Global Solutions’ efforts have impacted the lives of over 181,300 teachers and trainers, 4,524 education leaders, and engaged with 327 ministerial and policy decision-makers. By including leaders in all aspects of their projects, the company has been able to support sustainable changes and improve the education sector in the 33 countries they have worked in.

Key Learnings:
Evolve Global Solutions’ approach of including leaders in their projects was key to the success and sustainability of their work.
