A two-day workshop which was jointly organised by Kotebe University of Education (KUE) and Education Development Trust (EDT) was launched today, on the 4th of August 2022 at Yod Abyssinia International Hotel. The workshop’s focus was to train KUE’s professionals on designing state-of-the-art teachers’ and educational leaders’ development programmes.
Three high-profile professionals, Dr Clare Buntic, Marion Smallbones, and Maggie Farrar from the UK, have delivered very interactive training through face-to-face and online blended approaches. At the event, Dr. Berhanemeskel Tena, the President of KUE, remarked that the workshop would eminently contribute to the achievement of the institutional mission. The President was also grateful for the contributions made to KUE by EDT in general and the professionals who delivered the training in particular.
It was learnt that KUE and EDT had signed an MoU to mainly work on developing co-funding proposals, establishing KUE’s Research and Innovation Centre, collaborating on research programmes, providing school-based training, improving the quality of education, and providing technical support in the development of career progression frameworks. It was said that the agreement would also focus on developing innovative and practice-based curricula, building the capacity of leaders through mentoring, coaching, and supporting KUE in implementing the strategic plan to achieve its mission.
