HP Cambridge Partnership for Education EdTech Fellows
Across low, middle and high income countries, learning poverty is threatening to prevent nations from realizing 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 realize their potential.
This seven-month blended programme – including a four-day residential module at the University of Cambridge – is designed to build your skills in EdTech, policy, and leadership. You and your peers will learn from each other and our expert faculty through workshops, independent study, and one-to-one coaching. Our goal is to empower you to build and lead coalitions for change across different groups of stakeholders.
Starts: 4 July 2023
Duration: Seven months
Programme fee: £26,000 including flights, university accommodation and meals in Cambridge
Scholarships: Full and 80% scholarships available
Application deadline: Sunday 16 April 2023
