Changing the world through changing education

Education That Pays For Itself 2012 will bring together some of the world’s leading practitioners in financially sustainable education, along with educators, policymakers, business people, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs and NGOs from around the world, in a unique forum for learning, networking, inspiration and action.

Realizing a Shared Vision

Imagine... a school for children from the poorest of families – but where all graduates leave with the skills and experience needed to generate wealth for themselves and their communities. Imagine... a school in a developing country which is able to support itself without relying on subsidies – and yet is able to afford the best facilities and the best teachers.  These schools exist. The change is happening. This is your chance to be part of it !!

This Conference represents an opportunity to be part of a community that is transforming education in developing countries by integrating entrepreneurship and financial sustainability into the fabric of schools.

Discover how new and innovative models are tackling key challenges in education across the developing world:

• How to provide high quality education without high fees
• How to finance improved facilities without outside support
• How to teach young people to succeed as entrepreneurs
• How to empower future generations to break out of the poverty trap

Share your work, establish new partnerships, get solutions to your toughest problems at our consultancy clinic sessions, and have a little fun - we promise you won’t forget the experience.

If you’re interested in how education really can change the world, it’s time to come light that fire!
