Adnan Qureshi

I’m Adnan Ahmed Qureshi, a passionate education changemaker with 15+ years of experience in foundational literacy/non-formal educational pathways, working in some of the most challenging educational environments in the world. Currently Vice-President and founding member of Teach the World Foundation, which has impacted more than 30,000+ marginalized and under-served students across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malawi and South Sudan.

I was recently selected for the prestigious Now Go Build Fellowship, an invite-only fellowship run by the CTO of Amazon, Dr. Werner Vogels, 2026 Forty Under 40 Global Winner, 2025 EDSAFE AI Alliance Catalyst Fellow, part of the 2025 AI for Changemakers program and the 2025-2026 Eahou Global Immersion Cohort, and the 2026 Analytics for a Better World Impact Accelerator for Data Science.

My work was also recognized by the World Bank in their Ideas4Change 2020 competition, where this idea was selected out of 4000+ applicants and the only one in education. The model has also been recognized by other leading organizations such as MIT Solve in 2025 and 2021, UNESCO/HARVARD, Duke, Theirworld, ASU/GSV, HundrED, among many others.
