Varkey Foundation

Who we are

We are the Varkey Foundation. We believe in a quality education for every child. That’s why, together with our partners, we work to build the capacity and status of teachers to ensure that the quality of teaching is enhanced, and outcomes will improve.

Our vision is a quality education for every child – through boosting the capacity and status of teachers around the world.

Teachers matter. Every day, in classrooms around the world, teachers do amazing things. But too often, their work goes unrecognized and unrewarded.

We believe that teachers are critical to our global future. Through our work across the world, we’ve seen how great teachers can transform the lives of their students and their wider communities for the better. That’s why, together with our partners, we work to build their capacity and raise their status in order to raise standards of education for children across the world.

Today we work, research and campaign all around the world, and everything we do is driven by one simple belief: teachers matter.
