The Instructional Leadership Institute (ILI) was established in 2016 by Absolute Return for Kids (ARK) UK’s education policy venture the Education Partnership Group (EPG), as a programme that focuses on providing school leaders in South Africa with the skills required to run exceptional schools in under-resourced communities.

ILI is now an independent, non-profit South African company that aims to improve learner outcomes across South Africa by training school leaders to improve the quality of teaching and learning in their schools using instructional leadership techniques and practices. We currently are operational in four provinces across South Africa.
