Ruskin Education works to improve standards of education on behalf of clients. We draw upon the best of international research and practice but tailor our solutions to the specific needs and aspirations of each client, school and project.
Our services include providing consultancy to schools, government organisations and both owners and investors in schools. We deliver education improvement services and provide strategic education advice and support. Our school management services cover all aspects from helping establish new schools from license application to full operation and to providing on-going school improvement support and training. We provide professional development for teachers and school leaders through our locally established training team. We help schools recruit new teachers and senior staff and all the relevant services that help schools to deliver the highest quality.
In the mid 19th Century, John Ruskin wrote a series of essays entitled ‘Unto this last’. The essays were a direct attack upon businesses’ lust for riches at the expense of the community’s wealth. Where they fuelled socialist discussion in Great Britain, in South Africa they had a life changing impact upon a young lawyer Mohandas Gandhi (better known as Mahatma Gandhi) who dedicated the rest of his life to upholding Ruskin’s principles and working to change the unfairness of nations and businesses profiteering from the wealth of his country at the expense of his people.
Ruskin Education is all about education first and foremost. It is about developing a community’s wealth and expertise rather than putting profit first. Although a for profit organization, any margins made are modest compared with the quality outcomes and legacy the organisation leaves behind. The owners and employees of the organization are committed to Ruskin’s core principles. We are there to make a difference to the lives of students, to the skills of young people, and to the development of the organisations and institutions they support. Like John Ruskin, we believe in developing people and communities rather than profiteering from them and leaving nothing behind when we have gone.
