Our Affiliate Programme

EDT’s Affiliate Programme brings together a small, trusted community of education and skills specialists whose expertise, experience, and perspectives complement our own.

The programme is designed to strengthen how we collaborate with selected external experts who understand our values and share our commitment to increasing life chances through improving education and skills outcomes. It is a partnership drawing on specialist insights to build relationships and respond to opportunities where our combined experience can make a meaningful difference.

A mutually beneficial partnership

At its heart, the Affiliate Programme is about shared values. It recognises that lasting impact is built through trusted relationships, thoughtful collaboration, and a shared ambition to improve education and skills outcomes. Affiliates work alongside EDT colleagues to support areas of strategic importance, contribute expertise to emerging opportunities, and help strengthen the quality and relevance of our work.

Why our Affiliate Programme matters

EDT works with partners around the world to improve education systems and support better outcomes for learners, educators, and communities. Our Affiliate Programme helps us bring together the right expertise, insights, and relationships to support that work. By working together, we strengthen our thinking, broaden our perspective, and continue to deliver effective work that is evidence-informed, inclusive, and focused on measurable impact.

How can I become an EDT Affiliate?

EDT’s Affiliate Programme is currently invitation-only. Affiliates are nominated by our EDT colleagues because they bring recognised expertise, trusted professional judgement, and a strong alignment with our values and purpose. They share our commitment to collaboration, have a strong understanding of their field, and contribute constructively to our purpose.
