Empowerment Through Education
GVET operates in one of the remotest and most underserved parts of the country, so that every child can have access to good quality education, irrespective of their social or economic distinction. We define good education, as
(a) The understanding of oneself – for it is within each one of us that the whole existence is gathered
(b) Learning To Persevere - to face the challenges of life and come out victorious, like a soaring eagle that rises on the winds that bring the storm
(c) Learning To Be Fearless – acquiring economic and psychological safety and to be free from fear, to flower in love and goodness.
The Future of Education Trust is dedicated to shaping a promising tomorrow through transformative educational initiatives. Committed to innovation, inclusivity, and excellence, we strive to revolutionize the education landscape by providing access to quality education, empowering students with essential skills, and preparing them for the opportunities and challenges of the future.
With a forward-thinking approach, collaborative partnerships, and a student-centred focus, the Future of Education Trust aims to be a catalyst for positive change, ensuring that every learner has the tools and resources needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
The future that we work for
Enable children to become well rounded, confident and responsible citizens through access to high-quality education
‘Well rounded’ implies balance and poise that comes from self-awareness, ‘confident’ means one with courage and strength of character and ‘responsible citizens’ implies people who treat their rights and duties the same. By high quality, we mean education that integrates all aspects of a child’s development - physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual.
