YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1113113) TAS supports remote African schools on a transparent and sustainable basis. Trusts for African Schools was set up as a UK charity in 2006 to improve the quality of educaiton in some of the poorest schools in Africa. 100% of all public donations are applied to specific projects. For each school we support we set up a local trust to sit alongside it. The trust raises funds, injects ideas and provides transparency and accountability on a sustainable basis. It does not own or manage anything nor does it have any contractual responsibilities to the school. It is there solely to support the school. Trustees come from the school and the community but also include business and professional people from further afield. They are the ‘Champions’ of the school. No-one is paid anything for being a trustee. We now have eleven school trusts established, (supporting over 3000 children) all in very remote areas, mainly in Kenya. In 2012 we distributed around £100,000 directly to school trusts for projects they prioritised. These included new and refurbished classrooms, science labs, additional teachers, computers, out of school hours teaching, solar power, sports activities and equipment, educational trips and incentives for teachers. Trusts are encouraged to think creatively and to try out new ideas for improving the quality of education. Lessons learned are disseminated via the website and the network of trustees. The website is also the main tool for transparency. Each school trust has its own micro-site on the TAS website where all minutes of meetings, details of proposals for funding, transfers of funds etc are accessible. Minutes of TAS trustee meetings, funding decisions etc are all available on the website along with full details of how to set up and operate a local school trust.

The Prince's Teaching Institute
(UK, 1116224) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The Prince’s Teaching Institute is an educational Charity which raises ambition and challenge in state schools by providing professional development for teachers. The PTI believes that all children, irrespective of background or ability, are entitled to be taught by teachers who are passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects. It promotes the idea that subject knowledge, subject rigour and enthusiasm for teaching are essential requirements for effective teaching. Most of us remember a teacher at school who made a difference, who got us excited about what they were teaching us or who moulded/directed us to where we are today. At the Prince’s Teaching Institute (PTI) we believe that an inspired and knowledgeable teacher makes for an inspired pupil and our programmes and events refresh teachers subject knowledge and remind them that it was a passion for the subject they teach that motivated them to join this vital profession in the first place. Where in many professions (e.g. medicine, law, and accounting) professional development is mandatory, teachers have no such requirement. The PTI provides continuing professional development and ongoing support that nurtures and motivates teachers, but this doesn’t come cheap and to continue our good work we need your help. Show you care about the future of this country by investing in educating the next generation. Current Fundraising Events 2012 Royal Parks Half Marathon We are delighted that once again the team from Patron Capital will be raising money for The Prince's Teaching Institute.
