The Leading Innovative Partnerships in Extended Education Training Programme
This programme was targeted at school, NGO and other sector leaders. Schools alone cannot solve the issues within our education system and if change is to be realised, a collaborative effort is required from all stakeholders across the learning journey. Course participants had the opportunity to learn how different education stakeholders have moved beyond individual action towards collective action. The aim was to have created coherent systems of support around the school and across the extended school day. The application window for this programme is currently closed, and the programme is no longer running.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
-Aristotle, Ancient Greek philosopher.
