FHI 360 works side by side with ministries, communities, schools, teachers and families to create education systems that respond to the complex, dynamic and diverse needs of the people they serve. Our programs emphasize the use of data for decision making, foster student-centered learning and promote education in fragile and post-conflict areas. We are a leader in designing international exchanges that promote leadership, professional development and global collaboration.
Expertise
-
Early care and education
Children need early care and education for learning and development. To prepare children to reach their highest potential, we provide integrated programming that connects education to health and community building. This includes training and technical assistance on early childhood grants management, child health and education, and the use of emerging technologies.
-
Education in emergencies
FHI 360’s education experts have worked for decades alongside committed educators around the world to reestablish systems and renew hope in the wake of conflict. Together, we do more than rebuild school systems. We provide a strong foundation for a nation’s — and its children’s — future.
-
English-language acquisition
FHI 360 designs English-language immersion and training programs for master teachers, program administrators and students. These programs promote student-centered learning while enhancing reading, writing and verbal fluency.
-
Girls' education
Education, especially secondary education, is a critical investment in the lives of girls and young women. FHI 360 is a global leader in girls’ education programming.
-
International exchanges and scholarship programs
FHI 360 is a leader in designing international exchanges that promote leadership and global collaboration. Our programs help emerging leaders from around the world make valuable global contacts and gain a deeper understanding of other societies and cultures. FHI 360 connects students, scholars and civil society leaders to opportunities that expand access to critical knowledge that transcends national borders.
-
Institutional strengthening
FHI 360’s education team has partnered with ministries and civil society to manage education-system and policy reform in more than 40 countries, building trust and credibility through a clear commitment to national goals. We use a systems approach that acknowledges the political, institutional and technical elements of education reform. In this way, we enable sustainable solutions to critical education challenges.
-
Post-primary education
Youth development and unemployment are critical challenges in many countries. FHI 360’s post-primary education programs strengthen education systems that help youth acquire the skills they need to succeed in the workforce and become productive citizens.
-
Primary education
During primary school, children learn the foundational skills that are necessary for long-term success in school and in employment. To ensure that students acquire these skills, we use evidence-based approaches to develop programs in early grade reading, writing and math — while being responsive to the realities of local contexts.
-
Research, monitoring and evaluation
Improving education outcomes requires a strong understanding of the impact of programs and policies. To measure these impacts, our experts develop survey instruments, conduct data collection and analysis, carry out standalone research and have integrated the use of research across all of our work.
-
Technology for education
The work in technology done by FHI 360’s experts in education is inspired and driven. Working with ministries and school systems, we use technology to increase access to learning for teachers, students and adults — no matter where they live.
