Pedagogical Leadership in Africa (PedaL) programme launched in 2018 with an aim of transforming graduate education and its outcomes by building the capacity of university academics to use innovative pedagogy to enhance the design, context, processes and content of teaching and learning. PedaL training programme is offered both as a face-to-face programme and an online variant known as PedaL Online: Technology for Transformative Pedagogy. The goal is to maximise learning outcomes among students and subsequently to produce quality graduates who meet labour market needs.
The Partnership for Pedagogical Leadership has involved a broad spectrum of education stakeholders who enabled PedaL to spread across different disciplines, levels of education and countries in four years. Due to its versatility, PedaL gained momentum and achieved unprecedented growth in the face of a ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.
The PedaL Partnership therefore organised a stakeholders’ forum which was held on November 29, 2021with four key objectives: Share outcomes of PedaL emerging from practice as well as the external evaluation of PedaL; Strengthen collaboration across universities on pedagogical transformation; Discuss options for scaling PedaL across the education system; Highlight opportunities for educational reforms.
