About the job
Context:
In the developing world, while school enrollment is at an all-time high, the quality of education remains alarmingly low. A recent study indicated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend schools meeting basic educational standards. At Rising Academies, we are dedicated to changing this narrative, and we invite you to join our mission. Our goal is to establish exceptional schools and create impactful teaching and learning tools for those who need them most. As one of the fastest-growing education companies in Africa and a Certified B Corp®, we are at the forefront of this change.
About Us:
Established in Sierra Leone in 2014, we have spent over a decade developing a unique combination of innovative high-tech and low-tech learning solutions that significantly improve student outcomes and elevate teaching quality across the board. Our solutions are backed by seven Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), demonstrating that students supported by us learn, on average, 2.4 times faster than their peers in similar schools each year.
Currently, we proudly serve over a quarter of a million students across 1,000 schools in West and East Africa through three complementary channels:
- Innovative Great-Value Private Schools: Our network of private schools delivers exceptional results for children while developing scalable new technologies and methodologies.
- Collaborative Government Partnerships: We work alongside local and national governments across Africa to enhance the quality of public school systems on a large scale.
- High-Impact Solutions for Partners: We provide our proven solutions to other educational providers and institutions to boost school performance and improve student outcomes.
Our approaches combine expertly crafted curriculum materials, personalized learning experiences, intensive teacher coaching, and actionable data for school leaders. To discover more about our solutions, please visit here.
