UIL Director Arne Carlsen and Deputy Director Carolyn Medel-Añonuevo were joined by UIL Governing Board members Benita Somerfield, Gugulethu Ndebele and Malak Zaalouk in representing the Institute at the fourth World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) in Doha, Qatar from November 13 to 15. WISE is one of the leading international forums for education, bringing together more than 1,000 policy-makers, educationists, researchers, practitioners and learners from more than 100 countries. Mr Carlsen was one of the speakers in the Thematic Plenary Session on “Educating for our Times”. He spoke on the theme of “A new deal for education”, referring to the historical concept of a New Deal as a response to crisis, suggesting a new partnership for education between all relevant stakeholders, including learners, ministries, teachers, the non-formal sector, civil society and the world of work.
Outside the formal proceedings of the summit, the UIL team answered questions about the Institute and its work at the UIL stand and distributed materials (annual reports and publications).
