Overview

Ruskin Education provides key services 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 and project. Supporting sustainability in educational reform through strengthening the skills of local people is central to our work.

We seek out the best of partnerships in order to combine services and exceed client expectations. We are locally based in the Middle East and in Europe and draw upon a wide network of highly qualified and locally based consultants allowing us to deliver high quality whilst also keeping costs to the client down.

Our organization puts education first. We are here to add value. We are focused upon building sustainable solutions to problems and challenges with schools and teachers able to continue to improve and develop long after we have gone.

Mission and Values

Our company is based upon the principle that all schools and services can add value and that our role is to help schools and others achieve this added value for the students in their care.

We do not believe in profiteering or providing short term ‘quick wins’ that still leave schools and their teachers dependent upon us. Our aim is to embed an ethos and capacity for self-improvement so that improvement and high standards continue long after we have gone. Our reputation is built upon this. We work to build capacity and, through this, support sustainable improvement.

‘If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish, you he will be able to feed himself for a lifetime.’

Quote

‘Children and young adults only have one chance in life. At Ruskin Education, we recognize that education is the tool through which life chances can be secured. We aim to make a difference through improving provision and educational opportunities for young people in the Middle East, Africa and across Europe but also through building local capacity to continue support and improvement well into the future. With flexibility and the experience, dedication and the commitment of our staff and associates, I believe that Ruskin Education make the best possible partners because we care, I care.’
