The world is experiencing rapid changes in politics, economies, environment and cultures. With these large-scale changes, now is the time to focus on how our work should also change to respond to a growing variety of actors who may or may not share our vision of the future. FHI 360 has examined our education programs with these issues in mind and will be sharing our ideas and experiences at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) conference, April 25 through May 2, 2021. The conference’s theme this year is social responsibility within changing contexts.
Topics to be presented by FHI 360 staff include education reform in response to COVID-19 in Ghana, remote monitoring systems and approaches during COVID-19, ethically responsible safe schooling, social-emotional learning, teaching in the time of COVID-19, workforce development and more.
