Education Fund will support initiatives that solve acute problems in the education sector. The main issues the Education Fund addresses are: ● Leadership quality in schools ● The average age of teachers is constantly increasing (50% over 50 years old) ● The slow adoption of innovative teaching and learning practices. ● The youth drop-out rate after the mandatory level (9 years); not graduating from the next education level. ● The low levels of STEAM skills acquired from school.

Through the initiatives we will be looking for ways to increase the quality of education together with leaders from different sectors - public, private, third sector.
