Your June newsletter

Welcome to your June newsletter.

This month we were delighted to announce the first group of participants embarking on our HP Cambridge Partnership for Education EdTech fellowship. The fellowship is a seven-month programme that aims to grow policymakers' knowledge and skills to lead impactful EdTech transformations in their education systems. 

We also reflect on the power of play in helping children overcome adversity and consider how teachers can deliver practical science lessons in low-resource contexts.

The first HP Cambridge Partnership for Education EdTech fellows have been appointed

The first group of fellows were selected for the programme from than 400 applications from Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. The group includes senior government officials and organisation leaders from 13 countries who are working to advance digital transformation in education ecosystems.

Play and learning: a partnership to deliver teacher training in Rwanda

Cambridge Partnership for Education is part of a team developing training to help primary teachers in Rwanda to provide more collaborative and playful learning, in support of the country’s competency based curriculum. Eleanor Sykes, an educational consultant, shares progress after a recent trip to the country.

Practical science for low-resource contexts

When we work with ministers and other education reform stakeholders in many countries, a lack of schools, teachers and equipment are often among the biggest hurdles we must overcome together.

Cambridge's Everyday Science resource uses items that are available in homes or the local area, ranging from sticky tape and paperclips to baking soda and batteries, giving teachers flexibilty. Read more.
