Andrew McCusker, Opportunity's Head of Education Finance, joined us to talk about how our EduFinance initiative is helping accelerate an end to the global education crisis. 

For Opportunity, solving the global education crisis is not theoretical. We’ve seen parents and educators around the world already doing it—and doing it faster and better than we could have ever imagined. 

During our call Andrew will discuss how Opportunity offers the only systemic approach that helps more kids go to school and stay in school, while improving the quality of education schools provide. 

This work, we believe, is accomplished much faster and more effectively with a bottom-up approach: investing in the potential of local parents and educators who, impatient with waiting for their local public schools to improve, build their own affordable private schools to provide the quality education they envision for their children.

Everywhere, parents want to give their children a good education, and educators are stepping up to fill the gaps left by public school systems. Access to capital, blended with trainings and localized support, provides the catalyst for affordable private schools to rapidly expand and improve—and continue expanding and improving, long after Opportunity’s first intervention.
