A child from a disadvantaged background is four times less likely to be among top-performing students. For this child, the teachers who guide them will account for 30% of their academic success, and the school principal for 10%.

I had the somewhat crazy dream that it was possible to help change schools by supporting the men and women who are there for children every day, especially the most vulnerable ones.

Our ambition? To go further to enable every teacher to give their best. More broadly, we believe that we can positively harness collective energy to move towards a fairer, more fulfilling school experience for every student.
