The Education Partnership Centre has stressed that strategic collaborations are key to driving sustainable change in the education sector.
This message was underscored at the eighth edition of the National Education Innovation Summit and the recent launch of the 10-Year Impact Report.
Reflecting on the centre’s decade-long journey, the Founder of TEP Centre, Mo Olateju, stressed the power of partnerships in shaping education outcomes.
“For over a decade, we have worked relentlessly to transform learning experiences and outcomes for millions of children. Our 10-Year Impact Report not only captures the progress we have made but also serves as a roadmap for the future,” Olateju stated.
Echoing this sentiment, TEP Centre’s Program Director, Utibe Henshaw, emphasized that collaboration is at the heart of education innovation.
“Education innovation thrives on collaboration. The past 12 years have reinforced our belief that sustainable change comes from collective effort, and we look forward to deepening our impact in the years ahead,” she said.
This year’s summit, with the theme, “Skills Development for Workplace Readiness and Inclusion,” addressed the urgent need to equip young people with relevant skills for an evolving job market.
Following the summit, TEP Centre launched its 10-Year Impact Report, a comprehensive reflection on its contributions to education policy, foundational learning, and innovation.
Utibe Henshaw stressed the importance of collective action in achieving lasting reform.
“Sustainable education reform is not achieved in isolation. Our partners—governments, private sector actors, development agencies, and civil society organisations—have been instrumental in ensuring that our interventions are meaningful and far-reaching. “This report is a celebration of what is possible when we work together to create real change.
“As we look to the future, we remain committed to deepening our engagement, expanding our reach, and designing even more impactful solutions to the challenges facing education in Africa,” Henshaw stressed.
