Reports & research
We deliver impactful programmes and projects that uphold our high standards and values.
We strive to be accountable to the people we support – and to those who support us, like our partners, funders, and staff.
Here you will find some of the ways that we do this – from our legal reports and accounts, to the ways in which we contribute to research and development on issues affecting education for conflict-affected and marginalised communities.

Evaluation of the Accelerated Secondary Education Programme in South Sudan
Accelerated Education programmes are used to promote access to certified education for those who missed out on substantial amounts of schooling. In South Sudan, the accelerated education programme has been used to provide certified secondary education for teachers who did not complete secondary education due to one reason or the other. Windle Trust International, working with the Republic of South Sudan Ministry of Education condensed a four year curriculum into two years to provide accelerated secondary education to these primary school teachers. In March 2023, 418 participants of the accelerated secondary education sat the national secondary school examination and 87% passed.
In July 2023, WTI conducted an independent evaluation of the Accelerated Secondary Education Programme and the teachers who sat and passed the national secondary schools examination said the programme has renewed their hope for further education.
The GESS programme receives funding through UK aid from the UK Government, the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI) supports the GESS programme, which is managed by implementing partners who provide technical advice. These implementing partners include Cambridge Education/Mott MacDonald as the consortium lead, BBC Media Action, Montrose, Leonard Cheshire and Windle Trust International.
