Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) works with governments, development agencies, and philanthropic partners to strengthen education systems at scale. We support reform in curriculum, assessment, teacher development, and policy, drawing on the University of Cambridge’s research and global expertise.
In Asia, where interest in innovative financing is growing, there’s a shift toward long-term, systemic change. Cambridge helps partners move beyond short-term interventions by offering structured support: system diagnostics, curriculum and assessment reform, and leadership programmes that link education with sustainable business and investment thinking.
Our work is grounded in evidence and shaped by local priorities. In Bangladesh, we partnered with UNICEF to provide tailored learning resources for Rohingya refugee children. In Thailand, we supported efforts to improve access to quality teaching materials in state schools. And in the Maldives, we helped the Ministry of Education develop classroom resources aligned with their new curriculum. Beyond Asia, Cambridge partners with governments around the world to improve the quality of education systems – so everyone has the skills they need to achieve their goals and find their place in a modern, inclusive society.
For governments and funders seeking scalable, resilient education systems, Cambridge offers a practical path to lasting change. Philanthropy plays a key role, not just in funding projects, but in shaping the conditions for sustainable transformation. Together, we can build education systems that are equitable, effective, and ready for the future.
