To effect real changes in education by:

3. Cross-fertilization and cross-pollinization across national boundaries
4. Combine the efficiencies of business with the genius of experienced educators
Objectives:
We believe that:
If we start with education, there is the potential to create a more just and equitable, knowledge based society
That education of our citizens is the only way to maximize the overall potential of society
Through reasoned and open debate educators can offer society sound and practical steps to improve education
That educators working together, across national, political and racial divides, can best produce the ideas and methodologies that can best benefit the education of citizens
Guiding Aims
The guiding aims of the GEF are:
To improve - the education of citizens globally
To share - educational knowledge between rich and poor nations and between privileged and under-privileged sectors of society and to bridge digital and educational divides
To listen - to the voice of educators from every field and level of education and to incorporate their experience and knowledge in to local, national and regional education
To bridge - political, national, racial and religious divides within education
To enable - educators from every level and field of education to work together, to gain from the interaction of their experience and knowledge
To breakdown - dividing walls between expert areas and to show that the whole is more than the parts
To understand - that equality of education is the best hope for the future of our planet
Specific Objectives
These aims are focused through specific objectives:
To create a global network of educators that will conduct open-discussions. The discussions will look at global and specialist issues, and build understanding and knowledge between widely disparate educators
To create a group of funding businesses, agencies and foundations that will enable the foundation to fulfill its Aims and Objectives
To create a mechanism whereby global and specific areas of education that require urgent attention can be identified, and were knowledge based solutions, can be implemented effectively and with impact
To design calls for projects by partnerships, analyze proposals and fund international projects
To build a global network of coordinators that will disseminate information to and from their local region
