Cambridge Education participated in the 13th UKFIET Conference from 15-17 September at the University of Oxford, UK.
The conference theme “Learning for Sustainable Futures – Making the Connections” is tied closely to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The goals promote a vision of sustainable futures through ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all. The UKFIET Conference considered what this vision means for education and learning, and the contribution education can make to realising it.
Cambridge Education was a lead sponsor of the conference and took part in 17 conference sessions and talks, highlighting some of our work worldwide and discussing key education issues such as teacher development, literacy and skills training. We hosted the welcome reception which provided a useful networking opportunity for UKFIET delegates.
UKFIET, The Education and Development Forum, provides a proactive forum for universities, non-governmental organisations, consultancy groups and professional associations to share ideas, knowledge and expertise. Cambridge Education’s Technical Director, John Martin, is a member of the Executive Committee.
