Cognition Education makes $2mil donation to benefit students
Cognition Education Limited (CEL) recently
announced a $2million donation to the Cognition Education
Trust to benefit students in New Zealand schools.
Cognition Education Ltd is a leading global education
consultancy based in Auckland that works with governments,
non-government organisations and schools on a variety of
national and international projects to improve the quality
of teaching and learning.
“The company is unique in
that profits from its work are passed to the Cognition
Education Trust to invest back in New Zealand’s education
sector” said Cognition Education’s CEO, Dr John Langley.
“Many of the governments we contract to tell us
that our philanthropy is a factor in engaging our
services.”
CEL has contracts in the Middle East,
Asia, the United States and Australia, as well as in New
Zealand and the Pacific.
Dr Langley said that
although 2011 had been a challenging year with a number of
changes in the organisation and the global financial crisis,
the $2million donation marked a significant milestone.
“The organisational changes and plans that have
been put in place mean we can expect strong growth in the
coming years, with future annual donations to the Trust”
he said.
