Funded Projects
TESF issued a funding call in early 2021 with the aim of funding and supporting the development of new knowledge that can assist education policy makers, practitioners, non-governmental and community-based organisations to implement policies and practices in education that are transformative and can contribute to ensuring equitable, just and environmentally sustainable development.
TESF funded 67 projects across across India, Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland and South Africa. The projects represented a balanced mix of exploratory, innovative studies and pilot projects.
