Impact on Education (IMPACTed) Project

What is the world that students and teachers face today?

To participate effectively in the increasingly complex societies and globalized economy that characterize today’s world, students and teachers need to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with diverse peers, solve complex problems, adopt a global mindset, and engage with information and communications technologies, to name but just a few requirements.

Traditional education systems have generally not been preparing learners to face such challenges, the global education community has increasingly talked about and mobilized in favor of the changes required.

There may be a challenge associated with how countries (and the broader education community) perceive 21st century skills in general. In contexts of limited resources, crowded curricula, inadequately trained teachers, fragility, weak governance, and other challenges.

We need to transform the education system

This suggests that those who are committed to a holistic view of education have much work to do in terms of research, sharing of experience, capacity building, and advocacy around the potential and need for all countries. School ecosystem needs to elevate their skills so that they can prepare the students for the challenges ahead. 

What are we doing? 

NAMA Foundation Malaysia and Game Changer Training and Consulting Ltd,  implementing IMPACTEd Project Bangladesh, a project to improve the quality of educational institutes, education leaders and teachers through training and capacity building.
