For over 100 years the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) has worked to ensure that students of all ages have access to quality learning opportunities and to equip them with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that help them interact effectively with the world and contribute to society. The Network operates programmes and institutions which span the educational ladder, from early childhood programmes to primary and secondary schools, from vocational studies for youth and adults to university degrees and continuing professional development. Studies across these programmes and institutions in more than a dozen countries have demonstrated significant benefits for children’s learning achievement levels. Each year, the AKDN reaches 2 million students.
