Join a cohort of Edtech leaders working to improve learning for millions of students in Sub-Saharan Africa
Across low, middle and high income countries, learning poverty is threatening to prevent nations from realising their potential for economic and cultural prosperity. EdTech has the potential to improve teaching and learning on a national scale – but only when it is approached holistically and strategically.
As a policy leader focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, you’re invited to apply for the inaugural cohort of a new programme designed to accelerate effective digital transformation in education systems.
HP has joined with the Cambridge Partnership for Education, part of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, to support a network of policy leaders who are learning together to use EdTech effectively, so that millions of children in their countries can realise their potential.
How will you learn?
Our blended design combines in-person learning with an extended online programme of study, building the connections in your cohort over several months:
- A four-day residential module in Cambridge
- A programme of online collaborative workshops and independent study
- One-to-one executive leadership coaching
- Collaboration with a international peer network of alumni
How will you benefit?
The fellowship will help you to:
- Develop your skills and confidence to make your national school system more resilient, and make every day learning more effective, accessible and sustainable.
- Prepare you to make the right decisions now to get value for money and seize opportunities in the longer term.
- Connect you to a network of peers working together to accelerate effective EdTech implementation at scale, reverse global trends around learning poverty and shape international discussion.
What will you learn?
The fellowship follows a three-strand curriculum, which addresses the following questions:
- EdTech: How can technology be used to improve learning outcomes across your education system?
- Policy: How can you apply User Centred design processes to address challenges in your education system?
- Leadership: How can you mobilise stakeholders from across government and civic society to build and lead a strong coalition for change?
