ABCC Gold Member Profile
Education underpins our economies and societies. It is the most sustainable solution for the biggest challenges we face – poverty, health crises, climate change and conflict. Cambridge Partnership for Education works with governments, ministries of education and international development organisations to improve the quality of education systems – so everyone has the skills they need to achieve their goals and find their place in a modern, inclusive society. Together, Cambridge and its partners are reimagining and revitalising education systems to deliver transformative change for individuals, communities, countries and our world. Cambridge Partnership for Education combines expertise from Cambridge University Press & Assessment, supported by the collective knowledge and global network of the University of Cambridge. This includes drawing on the insight of more than 6,000 employees in 50 offices worldwide. In 2019, Cambridge Partnership for Education worked in over 25 countries around the world and supported more than 20 million learners. Cambridge Partnership for Education delivers education expertise from every angle: • System analysis Over the past decade, Cambridge has developed a framework for system analysis through constant review of research and practical development work with a range of governments around the world.
• Capacity development Cambridge Partnership for Education trains and develops teachers and school leaders through courses, qualifications and support, so that they fully understand, and can successfully implement curriculum and make the best use of every resource available to them in the classroom. • English language Cambridge works with ministries of education, education institutions and employers around the world to improve English language learning, teaching and assessment. This wide range of services is offered for projects of every size and at every level – from benchmarking studies completed in just a few weeks, to long-term capacity development delivered over several years. Cambridge brings a flexible, adaptable approach, highly responsive to budgets and time constraints, while providing the advice and support required to achieve successful and sustainable transformation. At the centre of this approach is partnership. Cambridge works with partners to develop education systems which support national development objectives grounded in local culture and informed by international best practice.
• Curriculum Drawing on years of research and experience, Cambridge works with partners to establish models of curriculum design and implementation that will have the greatest success in the local context.
In the wake of a global pandemic, education systems have never been under more stress. Over the past year, schools closed in more than 190 countries, affecting over 1.5 billion learners. 24 million children may never return to the classroom. Half of the global workforce is at risk, leaving many without the skills they will need to return to new jobs. In each case, that is a child who will never see the inside of a classroom. A teenager who will not get the grades they need for further study. A parent, out of work, with no options to retrain.
• Assessment With world-class assessment expertise built over 150 years, Cambridge helps partners review and improve existing assessments and design and deliver new systems.
Our societies must rise to meet our present challenges and build a better future. The work of leaders in education has never been more important and Cambridge Partnership for Education is ready to support these goals.
• Teaching and learning resources Cambridge works with leading teachers, researchers, and content creators to produce teaching and learning materials that are trusted in classrooms in more than 170 countries worldwide.
