Improving educational opportunities has always been at the center of achieving sustainable and inclusive economic growth. As automation and artificial intelligence raise the bar for workplace skills, the power of education to transform individual and societal trajectories has never been higher. Yet deep inequalities remain between and within countries – in access, quality, and affordability of education.
McKinsey is committed to improving lifelong learning opportunities and outcomes around the globe by collaborating with clients on their top-of-mind issues while always keeping equity at the forefront of our work. Our teams include former teachers, institutional leaders, policymakers, and researchers with deep expertise across all levels of education from early childhood and K-12 to higher education and workforce development.
We serve education institutions and systems, governments, philanthropists, investors, and service providers. We complement our hands-on work with original research, which allows us to better understand the sector’s toughest challenges and build new capabilities to help solve them.
In addition to our client service, McKinsey is committed to partnering with education non-profits in our local communities, having supported over 80 educational nonprofits in over 20 countries in the past five years.
