Revolution 2030

The global education crisis doesn't only affect the Global South. It affects all of us. And we will solve it within our lifetimes.

The global
education crisis

When it comes to education, especially in the humanitarian sector, we tend to make the same naive distinction: the Global South versus the Global North. The assumption is that the Global South is plagued by dysfunctional or even nonexistent school systems, while the Global North has achieved an adequate level of accessibility, ubiquity and equity to a high-quality, public school system.

This is false. Only 0.1 percent of the world’s children have access to excellent education. Everyone else has to make do with the crumbs.


The Italian education emergency.

Italy, which ranks 51st in the global ranking of the most effective school systems, is facing a real school emergency that no one has the courage to talk about. It is time to break the silence.

Our results.

We still have a long way to go, but thanks to our work between Africa, Asia and South America and our educational support projects in Italian schools, we are able to collect impact data on SIR’s Method based on our students, so that we can continue to improve and enhance it. Here are some of the data collected from the testimonies of Italian students and Still I Rise’s students.

A School for all.

This is the real mission of our work. We do not simply open Schools. Our facilities are true research centers. The goal? To synthesize the formula that will enable the building of Schools of Excellence, affordable and reproducible by anyone, anywhere in the world: the “School of All.” This is our Revolution. We do not open schools for the “poor” but create centers of excellence that offer the best to the most vulnerable children on the globe, so that they will be the ones, one day not far away, to change the world for everyone. We aim for quality, never quantity, and that is how we rewrite the future, one child at a time.
