L'Ecole Pour Tous
"We're still striving to ensure that all children have access to an education that propels their potential."
Structure
The non-profit has a board of seven members who have experience from around the world in educating children. It is required that at least 3 board members have experiencing successfully reaching out to under-educated populations. Under that is a typical non-profit structure of an administrative team and a large group of individiuals dispersing and training the use of the International Schooling Standard.
Public Agenda
L'ecole Pour Tous wants to make sure that every child has the opportunity to learn regardless of their living situation. This includes maintaining and updating the International Schooling Standard that is used across the globe as well as ensuring that any country or organization provided with ISS technology is providing free schooling and daycare for all their citizens or members. This also include partnering with local initiatives to increase education to either children or adults who were unable to obtain schooling while growing up.
Assets
The most powerful asset of L'Ecole Pour Tous is the patent for the International Schooling Standard, as well as partnership with Amazon, Incorporated to manufacture and distribute the certified technology for ISS. There are also some satellite offices and experimental learning labs around the world in order to help develop and maintain ISS.
History
After debuting the International Schooling Standard at the 2036 African Continent Technological Conference, Amazon, Incorporated got wind that Tanya Olamina and Manu Gyepi used some of their old tablet models to demonstrate the system. Instead of suing the inventive pair, Amazon instead invited the pair to meet in Chimazon to discuss the potential of the program. Olamina and Gyepi cautiously went to the meeting with sufficient legal representation in tow. What they feared would be a theft of their product quickly turned into a meaningful conversation of evolving the program.
Amazon was willing to head the leaning program themselves as they aided the distribution, but Olamina was insistent that the technology developed should be outside a profit-based structure. Instead she and Gyepi negotiated to found an organization that would focus on the education of every African child. Olamina also used connection she made at the earlier conference to get investment from Sengalese tech mogul Ulysses Ka. After returning from Chimazon, Ka and Olamina quickly established L'Ecole Pour Tous, specifically naming it in french to make sure it could never be easily appropriated by Amazon. Ka then worked on amassing teams to translate the learning program properly that Olamina and Gyepi developed across two dozen languages.
Despite being rebuffed from acquiring ownership of the ISS program, Amazon still wanted to offer to produce and distribute Kindle tablets that would provide the technology throughout Africa. By 2040, L'Ecole Pour Tous had successfully reached out to 75 percent of Sub-Sahara Africa, and other parts of the world took notice. Officials from nonprofits in South Asia asked if they could too try out the program. Within the decade, half of South Asia had implemented the program in their schooling systems, including the previously guarded government of the Philippines.
In 2060, as the European Union began to regain its former strength and the United States started the process of federalizing its educational standards, L'Ecole Pour Tous offered their help with the educational system, now becoming the dominant forces of education of Africa and South Asia, and contributing to a technological and academic renaissance in pockets of those areas. The United States was the first to accept the help, and largely decided to keep the majority of the ISS technology the same, only converting some measurement to the Imperial Standard. ISS became the basis for the federal schooling standards in 2067. Some corporate nations also reached out to accept the ISS, although surprisingly Amazon decided not to implement the system. The European Union was more reluctant to accept help from an organization from the African Union, seeing the continent as a threat to their "cultural independence." The ISS was accepted in parts of South America and East Asia before it was finally implemented in the EU on 2089.
Currently, L'Ecole Pour Tous is a cautiously powerful organization. The culture that founded the international education organization is very understanding of the responsibility placed on their shoulders. There have been times where outside companies and countries have tried to influence the leadership, and the organization's best defense has been transparency on any meeting with any official. Once someone is outed as a potential manipulator of L'Ecole Pour Tous, they are quickly shamed for playing games with something as important as the education of the future.
