Year-Round Engagements

What makes the Education Collaborative unique is the commitment to facilitating on-going system change among the institutions we engage. These follow-up projects seek to benefit the collaborators’ institutions and promote unity and partnership amongst African Universities. Projects are either joint partnerships between two or more participating institutions, or sole projects with support from other co-collaborators.  

Year-round engagements are the collaborations and projects initiated by members of the Education Collaborative network post the face-to-face workshops and conference. It highlights how participants are applying the techniques co-designed and/or introduced at the Education Collaborative June events attended, or acquired through mentorship and and projects with fellow collaborative members. Institutions are directly impacted by reforms such as Curriculum Design Consultations, Training Workshops, Curriculum Development, Policy & Strategy Implementation, Research Partnerships, and Classroom Techniques.
