Join the largest global community of schools dedicated to excellence. Elevate school culture and create thriving educational environments with us. Together.

Home of Best School to Work, World’s Best School Prizes, World Education Medals, and World Schools Summit. We exist to support teachers and schools as agents of change. And we believe in community strength and the network effects that come from bringing teachers and schools together. We want to shine a spotlight on the great work we see happening in classrooms worldwide. Our ultimate goal of ensuring every child across the world achieves their full potential remains at the forefront of everything we do. We know that no education system can outperform the quality of its teachers. That is why an investment in teachers is an investment in building resilience. It is fundamental to ensure that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to lead productive and healthy lives. Our values
At T4 we are passionate about supporting teachers and raising the quality of education everywhere. We aim to:

- Prioritise teacher voice
- Place schools at the centre of the conversation
- Be inclusive
- Champion agency

Navigating the New Normal
As the world looks to find ways to reframe and repurpose education, potentially the most critical element of our entire mission at T4 is the teachers’ role and importance. From their overall wellbeing to their ability to respond, hold and guide our children and young adults. Teachers are critical elements of success of the overall system. We need to ensure the teaching workforce is healthy and able to orient itself for future demands. Too often, the focus is on technology or other changes to the system. While all are contributing tools, none play as important a role in the education system’s ultimate success as the teacher. As a result of our past experiences combined with what we have learned due to the pandemic, we are building a global community of teachers. Through teacher experiences and our set of engagement tools, we can influence change in classrooms, schools, and communities worldwide. This juncture in time is a critical inflection point. One we have not seen for generations. And we have the potential to make systemic educational change a reality. Will you join us?

What if one of the most important things a school can provide is not another learning tool, but the food children need to learn?

For Stephen Ritz, Founder & Chief Illumination Officer of the Green Bronx Machine, children will never be well-read if they are not well-fed. He believes that good nutrition is fundamental to helping children learn, grow and reach their full potential.

In the latest episode of the Podcast, Stephen explores the connection between food and learning, challenging us to consider how meeting children’s basic needs can shape their educational experiences and outcomes.

According to our Founder and CEO, Vikas Pota, bringing people together is a great way to find avenues for collaboration.

Preparing young people for the future of work is a challenge that no part of the education system can address alone. It requires schools, policymakers, researchers, funders, innovators and industry to learn from one another and explore what needs to change.

That belief continues to shape the World Schools Summit. This is why we are bringing all these voices together at the next Summit in London to explore one question: How do we prepare young people for the future of work?
