About the Organisatios
PEAS is an international education not-for-profit with the mission to ‘expand access to sustainably delivered,
quality secondary education across Africa’.
Since 2008, PEAS has built and operated high quality low-cost not-for-profit secondary schools in close
partnership with government in communities where there is urgent unmet demand for secondary education.
We currently run 30 secondary schools in Uganda and 6 in Zambia serving over 19,000 students.
After a number of rigorous external studies in recent years, we know that our school model works. In Uganda,
PEAS students are from the poorest communities and have worse primary school exam results than average.
However, once they enrol in a PEAS school they go on to make faster academic progress than their more
privileged peers. Importantly, this is achieved at a lower cost per student than in other school types.
