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 17,000+ 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, a Forty Under 40 Global Winner, 2025 EDSAFE AI Alliance Catalyst Fellow, part of the 2025 AI for Changemakers program, part of 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, HundrED, among many others.
