The Fair Education Alliance is the UK's largest and most influential education coalition. We are a diverse group of 250 member organisations dedicated to ending educational inequality by working together to make progress more quickly. Young people from low income communities are much less likely to succeed than their wealthier peers. The achievement gap begins long before they start primary school and widens throughout their education. The reasons for this inequality are not simple, and lie in an intricate web of social issues. Addressing such complex problems takes more than one institution, one organisation, or even one government. Progress to date has been too slow. Although many organisations and individuals are investing significant time and resources to address this, often the work is done in silos. This means that each day children are left behind, and we need ambitious action now. We bring expertise from multiple sectors and geographies, and use our collective voice and collaboration to tackle this problem together.

Teach For All (www.teachforall.org) supports and connects a global network of independent organizations working around the world to ensure that every child has access to an equitable and excellent education. Each organization in the network, conceived and launched by a local entrepreneur, enlists its nation’s most promising leaders to teach in high-need areas for two years, and, in the long-term, drive systemic changes from within and outside of the education sector. Teach For All is catalyzing an international movement to expand educational opportunity. At the center of this network, Teach For All plays a unique role: it helps local organizations overcome common challenges by providing direct support services and serving as a hub for the exchange of best practices. In addition to delivering support to local organizations, Teach For All maximizes local impact on educational need by directly connecting the teaching participants and alumni of its international network programs through conferences and online forums.

We're a charity working to transform education with great teachers and leaders. We've recruited thousands of people onto our teacher training programmes, placing them in schools that serve areas of high economic deprivation.
