As technology is rapidly changing the face of teaching and learning around the world, the latest UNESCO reports show that now is the crucial moment for education in South and Southeast Asia. Technology is widely recognised as an empowering tool that can improve access to and quality of education, but to be effective, it needs to be approached strategically.

Collaboration across borders

The Fellowship aims to help leaders improve education access, quality and relevance. Studying in person and online, leaders explore evidence-based approaches, user-centric design principles and collaborative learning.

"The learning experience is rich and engaging. What is even more fascinating is discovering how similar the challenges we face are across borders. This programme is equipping us with valuable knowledge and experiences that will help us overcome obstacles and thrive in the future."
Current fellow Dr Dalal Alabbasi, General Manager for E-Learning at Talemia, South Africa
