Limited Resource Teacher Training Revenue and Competitors

LRTT is a global education social enterprise accelerating quality education by bringing together teachers from the most economically developed countries to provide training for teachers in contexts where people live on less than $5/day. Despite clear evidence showing the essential link between well-prepared teachers and positive student learning outcomes, teacher training is endemically under-funded and teaching as a profession is undervalued by societies. This chronic problem has created a global teacher workforce which is undertrained, ineffective, and disempowered - as a result, 190 million schoolchildren around the world cant read this sentence. Failure to provide high-quality education is a global learning crisis that is costing $129 billion a year. LRTT mobilises teachers from the UK, US and AUS to become LRTT Fellows and deliver face-to-face teacher development programs in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. By providing professional development experiences for participants, and by connecting a disconnected world, LRTT is building a global movement of well-trained, effective and empowered teachers. 93% of teachers who participated in LRTT in 2017 reported the training made them more confident and effective in the classroom. This is substantiated by lesson observations which have consistently demonstrated that teachers are able to apply their new skills in their classrooms. Whilst 95% of Fellows in 2017 reported increased confidence in their teaching, and 96% of Fellows felt more valued as teachers, as a result of LRTT. To date, LRTT has trained and placed over 1,000 Teacher Fellows. These Fellows have supported over 3,000 teachers across 9 countries and reached more than 120,000 children.
