As challenges in the APS market arise, resources and outcomes continue to grow we must acknowledge that systemic change requires a commitment to transparent solutions, progressive actions and measurable goals.

Enterprising Schools challenges network partners to examine the issue and opportunities that currently exist in order to identify solutions. PACT offers a vehicle for  partners to develop and carryout actionable solutions for advancing the Affordable Private School (APS) sector.

PACT aims to translate current goals, initiatives and interventions of APS stakeholders into progressive commitments aimed at promoting collaboration and transparency within the sector. With this framework in mind, the PACT should be developed to fit the core business, organizational and individual goals of the contributor. To capture the overall impact of these commitments, each PACT should fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Cultivate the Community encourages partnerships & collaboration, shared learning and developing best practices among stakeholders in order to speed innovation, growth and sustainability in the sector on both micro and macro levels.
• Expand Awareness focuses on raising the visibility, increasing market transparency and disseminating information on the APS market to encourage interest, growth and innovation in the sector.
•  Seed New Growth directs capital and delivers innovation to the APS market to positively impact the quality and expand access of education delivered to low-income families.

WHO CAN MAKE A PACT?

• PACTs can be made by organizations or individuals currently or interested in working with APS.
• PACTs can be made by a range of stakeholders, including but not limited to: Donors, Investors, Financial Institutions, Research & Policy Organizations and Service Providers.

HOW WILL MY PACT BE USED?

• PACTS will faciliate stakeholder partnerships and collaboration.
• During the Annual Symposium, EnterprisingSchools will support the development of core industry-level PACTs across various focus areas by facilitating discussions and information sharing between participants.
• EnterprisingSchools will share PACTs made by key members and organizations throughout the year, highlighting the progress made within each focus area in the annual Progressive Report.
