CIES 2021

As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, we are experiencing rapid changes in political, economic, environmental, cultural, and social spaces, including an expansion of non-state actors in the field and new social movements. These changes influence education globally and locally. 

Against this background, CIES 2021 calls for revisiting the relationships among context, actors, visions, and action; and invites a renewed attention to social responsibility and the ethical practice of education and policy development.

VVOB partakes in three different panels:

• 26 April, 8:45-10:15pm CEST (GMT +2): Partnerships Manager Anna Murru and Education Advisor Hans De Greve provide insights into the (de)motivating factors of Zambia's early childhood teachers in a panel 'ECE Teacher Motivation: constraints, challenges and opportunities for quality ECE workforce development' alongside ACER, the University of Zambia, UNESCO and VSO.
• 26-27 April, 10:45pm-12:15am CEST (GMT +2): Education Manager Anne-Thora Vardoy-Mutale shares experiences on remedial teaching from the Teaching at the Right Level project in Zambia in a panel 'Supporting students in the classroom: Remediation in a variety of contexts' alongside IRC and Catholic Relief Services.
