The disparity in education between the Global North and South is a major focus for the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. The difference in pupil-teacher ratios underlines how wide a gap exists: in North America, there is one teacher per 14 pupils, while in Sub-Saharan Africa, there’s one teacher for around 40. This inequality is a major driver of education poverty and, until now, partnerships have had a limited impact on closing the gap. However, with the pandemic revolutionizing global platforms for teaching, learning and assessment, greater opportunities have opened up. Join us on November 5 for a practical exploration of when, why and how schools in the Global North can form effective partnerships with the Global South.
