Phaway Educational Foundation

Education and technology to build real opportunities.

We develop technological solutions that optimize costs, eliminate bureaucratic work from schools and teachers, and enable all children to learn more and better.

We work with all actors in the education system: administrators, schools, principals, teachers, librarians, students, and local communities.

From the field

What does the field say about our programs?

Testimonials from people working with our programs in schools, libraries, and public education services.

Yael Gottlieb

For the Alcántara Alicante school network, adopting the Khan Academy program represents a key innovation in education. Integrating artificial intelligence transforms traditional teaching into a personalized, dynamic, data-driven experience. This allows us to manage the teaching process with greater precision, raise learning standards, and provide better opportunities for each of our students.

Tomás Recart

Law 21.040 transferred public education to 70 SLEPS, each managing between 50 and 220 schools. Many get trapped in administrative bureaucracy. That's why we developed software that automates key processes, freeing up time for what matters: improving learning outcomes and strengthening pedagogical leadership. With this tool, we move from bureaucracy to pedagogy.

Lectus is a highly beneficial platform because it streamlines library space management, making it efficient and attuned to readers' preferences. It also allows users to form a community — sharing interests, reviewing books, and enjoying together the possibilities that reading offers.

The SLEP Llanquihue Bibliomóvil brings books and stories to rural communities. This project exists thanks to Fundación La Fuente, Fundación Phaway, and EducarChile. Through reading mediation, storytelling, and lending systems, it doesn't just deliver books — it fosters a love of reading and helps shape active, critical readers connected to their communities.
