A month like this one is usually where we'd wrap things up with a neat summary, so instead here's an honest one: the first ten years of this work were largely about proving that focused, practical intervention - in teacher skill, school leadership, digital access, and basic infrastructure - actually moves outcomes for children in public primary education. We think the evidence on that is solid.

The next ten years are a different kind of test. Reaching one million more learners, training 10,000 more teachers, and expanding digital learning to 25,000 teachers means doing all of this at a scale we haven't operated at before, without losing the specificity that made it work in the first place.

We don't have that fully solved yet. We're comfortable saying so. What we do have is a decade of data telling us which parts of this model to protect as we grow, and we'd rather build the next phase around that evidence than around good intentions alone.

Ten years is long enough to learn a few uncomfortable things. At our Education Futures Conference in Lagos earlier this year, marking a decade of work in public primary education, one theme kept surfacing: training a teacher is the easy part. Making sure that training survives contact with an overcrowded classroom, a term calendar and a hundred small daily interruptions is the hard part.

That's the problem the next phase of our work is built to solve. Alongside the milestones we've reached, we've committed to a ten-year plan that goes further than reach - training 10,000 more teachers and 500 school leaders isn't just about bigger numbers, it's about testing what actually makes an intervention hold up over years, not just during a workshop.

This month, we're using our pages to unpack some of what a decade of Program data has taught us - what worked faster than expected, what didn't, and what we're changing because of it.

Report cards are a lagging indicator. By the time a grade shows a problem, it's usually been building for weeks. Teachers and parents tend to notice the real signs much earlier - a child who's gone quiet in class, one who suddenly hates a subject they used to enjoy, one who's started avoiding reading aloud.

We'd like to hear what you've noticed. If you're a teacher, a parent, or someone who spends time around children in a learning environment, what's one early sign that told you a child needed support before it became obvious to everyone else?

Drop it in the comments - we're collecting these to inform how we train teachers to spot the same signals earlier.

Attendance is usually treated as a parent problem, or a poverty problem, or a policy problem - rarely a school leadership problem. One head teacher we've worked with through our School Leadership Development Program decided otherwise.

Instead of waiting for enrolment numbers to improve on their own, she started tracking which specific pupils were missing school and why, then worked with teachers to reach out directly to those families - sometimes about school fees, sometimes about something as simple as a child needing a reason to want to come in that morning. Attendance at her school has climbed steadily since.

It's a reminder that a lot of what looks like a systemic problem is actually a hundred individual ones, and a school leader with the right tools can solve more of them than you'd expect. This is the kind of practical leadership work we try to build, one head teacher at a time.

Plenty of organisations can say they have corporate partners. Fewer can say what those partnerships actually did. Our STEAM Ahead Program has grown with backing from partners like Google, Datatec, etc. , and the difference between that kind of partnership and a one-off donation usually comes down to one thing: a shared scoreboard.

When a partner is looking at the same numbers we are - students trained, skill gains measured, ICT centres running - the conversation shifts from 'here's a cheque' to 'here's what we're building together, and here's how we'll know it's working.' That's a harder conversation to have upfront. It's also the one that tends to produce partnerships that last years instead of a single financial year.

If your organisation is thinking about where an education partnership could go further, this is the model we'd point to.

Numbers are easy to publish and hard to commit to. Following our 10th anniversary Education Futures Conference this year, we set out specific targets for the decade ahead: training 10,000 more teachers and 500 additional school leaders, reaching at least one million more learners through foundational literacy and numeracy Programs, and expanding digital learning access to 25,000 teachers.

None of these numbers are aspirational in the vague sense. Each one maps to a specific Program we already run and know how to scale - Teacher Development, School Leadership Development, Child Centred Education, and School Infrastructure and Digital Learning. The work ahead is less about starting something new and more about doing what already works, at a size that matches the scale of the problem.

We'll be publishing progress against these numbers as we go, not just the highlight reel.

Everyone talks about fixing education. Few talk about fixing it at the source. Research on learning outcomes keeps pointing to the same conclusion: the single biggest in-school factor in a child's academic progress isn't the building they learn in or the textbooks on their desk. It's the person standing in front of the classroom.

That's why teacher development sits at the centre of everything we do at Bunmi Adedayo Foundation. Since 2016, we've trained over 7,800 teachers and school leaders across public primary schools in Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Rivers States, working on the practical skills that change what happens in a classroom day to day: how to teach a child who's falling behind without leaving the rest of the class waiting, how to build a lesson around what pupils already know, and how to make forty minutes with forty children feel manageable instead of overwhelming.

Over 550,000 students have sat in classrooms shaped by this work. We'll be sharing more of what we've learned about what actually moves the needle for teachers this month.
