The Global School Forum, an international network committed to strengthening education systems and improving learning outcomes globally, has welcomed 12 new organisations into its growing community of partners.
The newly admitted members represent diverse regions including Africa, Asia, and Europe, and bring expertise spanning foundational learning, inclusive education, climate literacy, youth empowerment, and child wellbeing. Their admission reflects the forum’s continued effort to support innovative organisations working to address some of the most pressing challenges in education worldwide.
Among the new members is African Numerals System, a Ghana-based initiative focused on improving early numeracy outcomes through culturally grounded mathematics materials and teacher support. By integrating local contexts into mathematics instruction, the organisation aims to help children develop stronger foundational numeracy skills.
Also joining the network is Aprender (UK) Ltd, which works to improve access to quality education through targeted academic support and capacity-building programmes for educators and institutions.
From India, ChildFund India brings extensive experience in community-based programmes that combine education and child protection. The organisation works closely with communities to support children’s learning, wellbeing, and safety, particularly in underserved areas.
Climate education is another area gaining increasing attention within the network. Climate Class Connection, based in Pakistan, integrates climate education into public schools through teacher training and project-based learning designed to help students better understand climate change and environmental sustainability.
In East Africa, GEEP Kenya contributes to youth empowerment efforts through skills development and community-focused livelihood initiatives aimed at improving young people’s economic opportunities.
Nigeria is represented among the new members through the Nurturing Early Childhood Community Support Initiative, which promotes holistic early childhood development through community-based support and school readiness programmes designed to strengthen learning foundations before children enter primary school.
The forum also welcomed Perkins, an organisation globally recognised for advancing inclusive education. Perkins works to strengthen educators’ capacity to support children with disabilities and ensure that learning environments are accessible and inclusive.
From Zambia, Pestalozzi International expands access to education through scholarship and support programmes for underserved young people, helping talented students overcome financial barriers to schooling.
Mental health support is also part of the new membership. Psych Care Uganda focuses on child and adolescent wellbeing by providing mental health and psychosocial support services that help learners cope with trauma and emotional challenges.
Strengthening science education is another priority reflected in the new intake. Science Fuse, operating in Pakistan, delivers interactive STEM programmes and professional development opportunities that help teachers adopt engaging approaches to science instruction.
Also joining the network is Skills Builder Global, which focuses on embedding essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving into education systems to prepare learners for employment and lifelong learning.
Completing the list is Teach Me Well Ghana, which addresses foundational learning gaps among pupils in Grades 3 to 5 using the widely recognised Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) methodology. The approach assesses students’ learning levels and provides targeted instruction to help them catch up.
Welcoming the new members, the Founder and CEO of the Global School Forum, Aashti Zaidi Hai, said the organisations bring valuable expertise and energy to the community’s shared mission of improving education systems globally.
Welcome to the community. We look forward to working alongside you to ensure every child has access to safe, quality education.
The Founder and CEO said.
