Countries With G20 Schools

The G20 schools is an association that is made up of 50 schools spread out across 20 countries that were founded in 2006 by David Wylde, a South African and Sir Seldon Anthony from the UK. The schools are based on innovation and excellence, and membership is by invitation only upon which the existing members take a vote on the same. The decision to allow a school into the group depends on two factors, the reputation of the school in question as well as the status of the principal. The primary purpose that drives G20 schools is the need to provide a platform to discuss issues that affect learning and their functions as school leaders. Some of the countries that have G20 schools include.
