A recent 2025 Independent Evaluation by Expectation State is found below. This quantitative and qualitative study was completed across 10 sampled Spot communities, with over 200 Catalysts, learners, community member, headteachers and staff interviewed in the process.

Here are some key quotations from the study:

• Pedagogical transformation: “The shift towards more learner-centred, inclusive, and practical teaching methods has transformed school-based pedagogy, making education more relevant and engaging for students.”
• Leadership transformation:  “EduSpots has realised its vision of community-driven change by empowering local changemakers. The programme has built an effective network of young people and community members who initiate positive changes. This approach has created a new generation of leaders who can sustain and expand EduSpots’ work.”
• Value for money, systems and sustainability: “’The model offers a structured approach to programme delivery. It offers significant value for money, leveraging volunteer engagement and capacity building to maximise impact.”
• Replicability in new contexts: The study confirms that “the model’s ability to be replicated and the general benefits derived by the community indicate its potential to make a lasting impact in diverse contexts, positioning EduSpots as a promoter of educational equity and community.”
