Join our vision for children's education
With access to a quality education, children become lifelong learners, transform their communities and experience life in all its fullness. We work with communities and local governments to address the barriers to a quality education for all children. Empowering parents and teachers with the tools and training they need gives children the opportunity to shine.
Education
A world with education for all - We are making progress. But there’s more to be done. All children have the right to a safe, inclusive and quality education. We want all children to be educated for life, in a safe and nurturing environment, in order to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Moving forward in Education
Unlock Literacy
Globally, 70% of children in low and middle income countries live in learning poverty, and even if they attend school, are not able to read and understand a simple text. Unlock Literacy is World Vision's evidence-based approach to ensuring children, especially the most vulnerable, read with comprehension and develop a love of learning, working in partnership with children, their families, communities, teachers, schools, and education systems.
New Catch Up Programme
While COVID disrupted education around the world, for millions of children this was not the first interruption to their education and it will not be the last. The Catch Up Programme is an adaptable approach to support children at the highest risk to build foundational skills and return to education through community-based clubs.
READ more about Catch Up and the latest update.
In 2023-2024 the Catch-Up Programme will be implemented in new countries: Bangladesh, Chile, Ethiopia and Lebanon.
The Open University will support World Vision through mixed-methods research to explore the effectiveness, relevance and adaptation of the CUP programme. Responsible Research and Innovation aims to strengthen evidence for CUP in real-world implementation contexts for further adaptations and scale.
