The Varkey Foundation, which is now apparently also gaining a foothold in Latin America, has been one of the largest international players in the field of education for years. Examples include partnerships with Unesco and Unicef, the organization of the Global Education and Skills Forum and the awarding of the Global Teacher Prize. The founder of the foundation, an Indian businessman named Sunny Varkey, is also the founder and president of GEMS Education (Global Education Management Systems), which is said to be one of the world's largest private school operators.
