STIR Education

Education systems today must prepare every child, everywhere, to thrive in an increasingly complex world. STiR Education is an international NGO that supports education systems to reignite intrinsic motivation so that every child, teacher and official is motivated to learn and improve. Our vision is a world where teachers love teaching and children love learning. Since 2012, STiR has reached 200,000 teachers and 6 million children, through supporting the national education system in Uganda and three state education systems in India (Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu). We're also working on our expansion plans in both Indonesia and Ethiopia. There have been exciting signs of success: for example, early findings from our longitudinal study have shown that core routines to support officials and teachers were already in place and happening at relatively high quality after just one year. By 2025, STiR aims to reach 25 million children across at least six countries.
