Duty

Station: Kampala, Uganda

Aikan HR Consultants seeks to

recruit for its valuable client, Bridge International Academies, the world’s

largest chain of primary and pre-primary schools bringing world-class education

to the poorest of the poor, democratizing the right to succeed.

Bridge leverages research, technology,

and data analysis in order to standardize and scale the entire lifecycle of

high-quality education delivery and to drive continuous improvement across all

aspects of operations.  This includes how

academies are built, teachers are selected and trained, lessons are delivered

and monitored for improvement, and more. Bridge pupils gain an additional .34

standard deviation on core reading skills and an additional .51 standard

deviation on maths compared to their peers in neighboring schools, based on

USAID-designed exams administered by an independent monitoring and Evaluation

Company – this translated into over 250 additional days of learning. Thanks to

economies of scale, Bridge is able to charge just $6 a month per pupil on

average with academies reaching operational sustainability after just one year.
