Our Work

Around the world, education systems are under pressure. Teachers face growing classrooms without enough support, school leaders juggle complex responsibilities without training, and too many young people leave school without the skills they need for life and work. At VVOB – education for development, we work with ministries of education and partners to change that.

Evidence for Impact

Our projects strengthen the professional development of teachers and school leaders — the people proven to make the greatest difference for learners. Guided by evidence, we co-create long-term solutions that make education systems stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable.

Across all our work, from climate change education and foundational literacy and numeracy to learning through play, we generate and share evidence through research, partnerships, and practical tools. Explore our projects, research, and resources to see how VVOB turns collaboration into impact, equipping teachers, strengthening systems, and transforming learning for millions of children worldwide.
