The Journey ToBetter Education

Provision Worldwide


4/15

Foreword by theFounder and Chairman

Like you, I believe that every child

matters. That so many childrenaround the world still lack the access

to a decent education is intolerable.

Providing children with an exemplary

education is not a matter of

processing forms through the same

educational template. Nor can we

tackle the problems governments

face all around the world if we do

not address their individual needs

and understand where they are

in their journey to deliver better

quality education.

We know what is involved because

we have been running a successful

education company for over 50 years.

We have advised governments,

corporations, schools and parents on

delivering the high quality education

that is right for them.

GEMS Education Solutions is a

specialist education consultancy

providing strategy, consulting and

programme implementation across

the education sector. As part of GEMS

Education, GEMS Education Solutions

draws upon the resources of the

groups global school network and

educational expertise.

Demand for our services is high in

India, East Asia and Africa, as well as

in the USA, UK and Eastern Europe.

Governments want to raise standards

of education but cannot move fast

enough to meet demand. This is

where we can help. The challenge

can only be met by creating an

environment in which private and

public sectors work in partnership.

GEMS uniquely enables parents to

choose a school and curriculum suitedto their personal needs. More than

99% of students at our private schools

with the lowest fees have gone to

university. These are schools where

the annual tuition fee is $1500.

The results speak for themselves.

GEMS students have gone to a dozen

of the top 15 universities in the world

and 36 of the top 50 universities in the

United States.

We believe that a quality education is

about Ad Vitam Paramus preparing

for life. The GEMS approach to

learning is one which focuses not

only on academic excellence but also

on helping students develop their

character, values, personal leadership

and the spirit of enterprise necessary

for them achieve their full potential

as global citizens.

GEMS values-driven education isexpressed through our four core

values which are woven into every

curriculum oered by GEMS schools

and are at the core of our DNA:

World Citizenship

Empowering students with a

global and local perspective

Universal Values

Accepting that we are all

dierent, recognising that

we are all the same

Leadership

Developing each students

individuality and entrepreneurial

spirit to discover their potential

Forward Thinking

Our educational programmeshelp students to become exible

thinkers able to question existing

thinking, adapt and meet the

demands of the future

Through GEMS four core values

GEMS schools are heavily focused on

philanthropy. Each school has their

own charitable activities that fall

under the Varkey GEMS Foundation.

100 underprivileged children will

benet for every student enrolled

at a GEMS school. We are honoured

to have former U.S. President Bill

Clinton as the honorary Chair of the

Varkey GEMS Foundation.

GEMS started as a small family run

business. We are now a multinational

company with global reach and

reputation but our approach is based

on the simple principle of providing

access for all young people to better

schooling. GEMS Education is about

making education accessible to

communities around the world.

Thats why we are dierent.

Sunny Varkey

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador

for Education Partnerships

No country will prosper in the 21st century withoutgreat schools. GEMS is in the business of buildingand managing great schools. It is one of the fewgenuinely international school operators and itsquality is excellent. It has a huge amount to offerany partner or government striving for a world classeducation system.

Preface by theChief Executive Officer

EMS Education Solutions takes

he learning and benets of 50ears of experience in providing

igh quality school management

nd professional development to

artner with governments to achieve

ransformation across school and

ertiary sectors.

ur winning formula utilises our

lobal network of schools, world-

enowned educators and advisors in

rder to develop tailor-made local

olutions for each of our clients. We

re an ocial partner of UNESCO and

work strategically with governments

round the world. Our team

members have excelled in education

eform, curriculum development,

teaching and learning practices,

programme design and evaluation.

There are other consultancy

companies who can advise on what

to do but they lack the delivery

experience to know how it should

be done. And there are delivery

organisations who know what

to do but they miss the bigger

picture. And then there is GEMS

Education Solutions.

Not only do we have deep strategic

capability but we also run high

quality schools. As a result, we

forge the powerful link between

strategy and implementation. This

embeds and sustains the necessary

transformation to raise standards

and extend high quality teachingand learning across a region. The

GEMS dierence means that national

strategy, school organisation,

teacher training, leadership

and management and student

achievement are aligned and that

the system performs to optimal eect

both educationally and nancially.

Jeremy Jurgens Senior Director, Global Growth Companies, World Economic Forum

An effective school focuses on the

optimisation of two closely linkedoutcomes student outcomes andfinancial performance.

To deliver these outcomes weleverage the experience andcapacity from running highlysuccessful schools in 11countries, covering threeimportant perspectives.

Student Outcomes

Learners who are equipped for life andready for higher education, armed with

knowledge, skills, understanding,qualications and character, so that they

can make the most of all their talents.

Financial Performance

A school that is delivering valuefor money through strong

enrolment, student retentionand sound operational

management.

Educational Excellence

Ensuring high qualityeducational deliveryto maximise student

outcomes.

Operational Excellence

Establishing standards andprocesses to ensure strong

business performance.

Client Care

A strong focus on addingvalue to the whole schoolcommunity, embedded

throughout our services.

11

Our Approach

ducational excellenceWe maintain an edge for our

chools and our clients through

ur Innovation Themes which

ange from Vocational Skills and

ntrepreneurship to Parental

ngagement and Leadership. For

ach theme, a group of our schools

connected with an eminent

dvisor who helps them take their

ractice to the next level. These

evelopments are fed back into our

nowledge centre so that we can

upport our schools and our clients.

Operational excellenceOur size and experience allows

us to provide excellent services

which combine the best of business

practices with a deep-rooted

understanding of education. This

means that all of our services, from

HR to nance to school design

and build, are highly ecient

as well as highly eective.

Client and customer careWe have always regarded our pupils

and our parents as our customers and

see it as our duty to provide the best

for them. This culture ows through

to the work we do for governments

and for other groups of schools. We

know that sometimes the school day

stretches far beyond normal school

hours so we provide invaluable round

the clock service. We have oces

all around the world and each of our

customers has a dedicated account

manager who is available for face-

to-face meetings whenever support

is needed. They can also always

be contacted by phone or email.

EMS Education Solutions supports the improvement of educational standards and expertise in public and

rivate education across the globe. We believe there is no one size ts all model for our clients needs butwhat is constant is our success rate.

n eective school focuses on the optimisation of two closely linked outcomes, student success and nancial

erformance. To deliver results, we use our experience and capacity from running highly successful schools in 11

ountries which is underpinned by treating our parents and students as valued customers.

nternational research shows that chains of schools can improve more rapidly and sustainably than single schools

cting alone. Working with GEMS oers access to one of the worlds longest established school groups. Our network

f schools enables us to achieve results for our clients by focusing on three essential aspects educational excellence,

perational excellence, and client/customer care:

The Issues We Tackle

Access & EqualityWhere an educational system is

emerging, a structural overhaul is

required to ensure that every child is

given access to education regardless

of gender, religion, race or creed.

Prioritising CapitalIn countries with varying degrees

of socioeconomic wealth, the goal

for government is to prioritise

spend. It is also essential to

ensure resources are distributed

fairly for students and within

communities, treating rich and

poor proportionately to their needs,

checking that rural schools as well

as urban schools receive appropriate

resources. Research has indicated

that investing in education is good

for a countrys GDP, but countries

often nd themselves making

the wrong investment choices.

Empowering LeadershipThe quality of teaching inside an

education system is key to delivering

high quality education. The best

educational systems in the world

attract high level candidates and the

teaching profession is positioned as

a desirable career path. We work in

all areas of recruiting, training and

incentivising high quality teachers.

Investment PrioritiesNew technologies are highly relevant

for our schools so we take care to

invest in the right ones. In a digital

world of bewildering choice we

help you decide what to buy, what

to use for free through scraping

content from the bin and how to

ensure your teachers and learners

get the most from technology.

We use our experience of running

highly successful schools in nine

countries to deliver opportunities

for all. To achieve this, we provide

private education at a wide range

of fee structures making education

more aordable for more children.

Through the Varkey GEMS

Foundation and our partnerships

with other charities and public sector

bodies we seek to provide access for

more children around the world.

Travelling the long path to delivering excellent educationaloutcomes requires a key understanding of your countryseducational challenges and goals and selecting a partnerwho can best address these issues.

13

Governments want to raise standards of education but many in the developing world cannot move fast

enough to meet demand of a booming and undereducated global population. Whilst in the developed worldthere is an anxiety over global competitiveness and the changing role of education in society. This is where

we can help as education experts.

The challenge can only be met by creating an environment in which private and public sectors work in partnership.

Delivering excellent educational outcomes requires a clear understanding of the unique educational challenges

in each case. Some education problems prove persistent and cross-cultural while some are specic to a district,

municipality or country. Some of the problems our clients face include:

EQUALITY

Around 67 million children do not have access to primary school

education and another 72 million miss out on secondary school

education (ProLiteracy).

About 17% of the worlds adults 796 million people still lack basic

literacy skills. UNESCO (2011)

Students assigned to high value-added teachers are more likely to go to

college, earn higher incomes, and less likely to be teenage mothers. On

average, having such a teacher for one year raises a childs cumulative

lifetime income by $50,000 (equivalent to $9,000 in present value at

age 12 with a 5% interest rate).(Harvard University Study 2012)

We connect our knowledge and expertise to your desireto improve your educational systems.

We understand that finding your path to improvementsrequires a partner with a deep specialist knowledge ofeducation and access to international best practice.

APPROACH

United NationsEducational, Scientific andCultural Organizationelecting the right approach

We nd that for every improvement

rogramme the balance between

he bottom up approach - building

nvolvement but risking wide

ariations in interpretation and

op down - leading to more

ontrol by the primary stakeholders

ut risking disengagement

hroughout the organisation

needs to be nely judged. We

elp you develop an approach to

mplementing reforms which

will t with your organisations

ulture as well as allow you to

chieve your strategic goals.

ngaging stakeholdersoo often an idea which seems

reat in the Principal or Ministers

ce, or the District workshop, fails

o be implemented successfully.

his is often because the people

most responsible for delivery were

ot involved. Engaging teachers,

arents and pupils in designing

nd supporting the changes

equired is crucial to this process.

Focus on evidenceThe ability to identify and combine

the right interventions in the right

way is one of the most powerful

weapons in the educators armoury.

Our research and evidence teams will

be alongside you at each step to assist

you in making the most of this tool.

Sustainable change andcapacity buildingSustainable change requires strong

and committed leadership which

will advocate for change in bad times

as well as good. Just as important is

the ability to ensure local capacity

is developed, rather than drained,

by the change. This is why we useapproaches such as train-the-trainer

which empower individuals on site.

Culturally attunedapproachesOur experience in working with so

many dierent countries allows

us to understand how to put local

context and culture rst. Whilst

understanding and sharing

excellent practice from highly

achieving institutions in other

countries or sectors is important,

we guide you to develop a str ategy

that best ts your local context.

Helping you takethe next stepOur incisive diagnostics and expert

educators help you understand

exactly where you stand across the

range of your dierent departments

and services. More importantly,

they will consult with you to help

you identify the crucial next steps.

We have spent 50 years establishing an approach to running highly successful schools by focusing the

ramework for school eectiveness - educational excellence operational eectiveness and client andustomer care. This approach enables us to produce solutions based on the key component of knowing

what works and transposing it to meet your specic needs. We undergo a strategic review of your current

ducational system to help you to implement the improvements you desire supported by our best practice

School Turnaround Case Study:

Warren Harding HighSchool, Bridgeport,Connecticut, USA

Through a partnership with

GEMS, Warren Harding High

School has made signicant

strides in key areas. Key

initiatives were implementedthat transformed the schools

learning environment, the

cornerstone of the inaugural

year of Hardings comprehensive

improvement plan.

The positive school climate and

its emphasis on high student

expectations, coupled with new

teaching strategies and practices

introduced through intensive

sta training, sets the stage for

the curricular/instructional focus

of the plans remaining phases.

The attendance rate improved

dramatically, a direct result of

several measures put into place.

The 2010-2011 school year ended

with an overall attendance rate

of approximately 69%. In October

2011, the attendance rate hit 92%

the highest in all of Bridgeport.

Our students are excited

by the changes that weve

undertaken, and theyre excited

to see more changes happen.

This is not just an experiment

for them, this is their lives. I

think this improvement process

is going to create a bank not

just of productive graduates

but of productive citizens for

achievement, social development

and the development of transferable

GEMS strategy of hiring the right professionalsand supporting them with the latest technologicaladvancements is a model for progressive education.

Anoop Gupta, Global Head of Education, Research and Strategy, Microsoft

By deploying e-learning technology

GEMS can provide a gateway to global

knowledge and an eective channel

to reach out across communities.

How does it work?

The system works with a two-way

transmission of live video footage

between a teacher in a studio and

multiple classrooms in remote parts

of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This can be done using a broadband

connection or Very Small Aperture

Terminal (VSAT) satellite technology.

The technology enables master

teachers or guest lecturers at

the studio to appear on virtual

classroom screens alongside

relevant digital educational content.

Students can interact both with the

teacher and with each other through

the virtual classroom interface.

What are the advantages?

High Quality Learner Experience 100% synchronous learning

experience maximizes

learning potential Peer interaction among students

transcends even a classroom
