In order to help a network of policymakers who are learning together how to utilize EdTech successfully, so that millions of students in their nations may realize their potential, HP has partnered with the Cambridge Partnership for Education, a division of Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

You are invited to apply for the first cohort of a new program created to accelerate effective digital transformation in education systems if you are a policy leader with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Digital Education Futures Initiative, Hughes Hall, the University of Cambridge, and the preeminent EdTech NGO OpenDevEd all fund this program.

This seven-month blended curriculum will improve your knowledge of education technology, public policy, and leadership. It also includes a four-day residential module at the University of Cambridge. Through seminars, individual study, and one-on-one coaching, you and your classmates will gain knowledge from one another and our knowledgeable instructors. Your ability to form and steer coalitions of change among various stakeholder groups is the main objective.

Eligibility:

The initial cohort is open to applications from senior government officials, private sector or NGO leaders who are:

Working with governments of Sub-Saharan African countries
Responsible for digital transformation in K12 public schools on a regional or national scale
Experienced, working in a senior role for at least three years
Involved in education, ICT, Teaching & Learning, infrastructure, innovation, finance or another department focused on using technology to improve learning

Benefits:

The 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

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 You will 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?
