TFA’ s and now AEI’ s relationship with the Armenian government is structural, not transactional. The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports has endorsed Seroond for nationwide expansion, requested the Catalyst pilot in 6 newly built schools, and is discussing nationwide expansion. Our Teacher Leadership Program fills critical vacancies across the public system. Our alumni occupy positions inside government agencies where they shape policy. Our data systems inform national decisions. This is what partnership looks like when trust has been earned over a decade.
AEI is a proud member of the Teach For All global network, 61 partner organizations across six continents, connecting our alumni to 70,000 + professionals worldwide. In 2025, Armenia sent delegations to the Europe Regional Summit in Vienna, had the highest number of applicants to the Europe Policy & Practice Community, placed 4 alumni as Europe Leadership Fellows, and was consistently invited to share methodology across the network. We are not just participating in a global movement.
We are leading within it.
Armenia is a country of three million with a diaspora of ten million. AEI harnesses that asymmetry as a strategic advantage. We recruit Teacher-Leaders from the diaspora, bringing a global perspective into Armenian classrooms. We raise funds from supporters in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. We bring international expertise and partnerships into a national system that benefits from an outside perspective without losing local ownership. Our two-entity structure, with organizations in Armenia, the United States, and Europe through the King Baudouin Foundation, ensures operational agility and fiduciary rigor for donors worldwide.
