A global dialogue in education matters. The ability to learn from international experiences, adapt evidence-based policies, and co-develop solutions across borders is crucial in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of education reform.

EDT has been appointed principal implementing partner for Think Equal’s new social and emotional learning (SEL) component of the UK-funded TEACH (Teacher Effectiveness and Equitable Access for all Children) programme in Zimbabwe. As SEL component lead, EDT will now build upon its impressive track record of delivering teacher professional development and conducting school inspections within the TEACH programme.
