Integrity
We claim only what we can evidence, keep the commitments we make to institutions, and correct our errors publicly rather than quietly.
Seven values, applied to ourselves first
These are the tests we apply to our own decisions — what we publish, whose money we accept, and how we behave when we are wrong.
Inclusion
Programmes are designed first for the people usually reached last — rural institutions, regional-language learners, women's groups and persons with disabilities.
Excellence
Free does not mean rough. Every framework, module and template is built to a professional standard and reviewed before release.
Constitutional Values
Justice, liberty, equality, fraternity and human dignity govern how we run the Foundation, not only what we teach in its classrooms.
Transparency
Our objects, policies, governance arrangements and finances are published. Anyone should be able to see how the Foundation is run and how it is funded.
Collaboration
We work through existing institutions rather than around them, and we share authorship, data and credit with the partners who do the work with us.
Innovation
We adopt new methods and technologies where they measurably improve reach or quality — and decline them where they only improve appearances.
