The communities are designed to foster dynamic collaboration and knowledge exchange among education leaders, managers, teaching practitioners, employers, key stakeholders, governments, and international partners. Together, we tackle today’s challenges while future-proofing education. Through professional discussions and the sharing of both national and international best practices, we aim to raise standards of teaching across further and higher education.
