Zambia is taking important steps towards more open and inclusive teacher education.
At a recent workshop on Openness in Teacher Education, hosted by the University of Zambia as part of COL’s Network for Open Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (NOTES), 38 teacher educators explored how to create Open Educational Resources and use AI responsibly.
Through practical sessions and peer learning, participants explored best practices in quality assurance, accessible design and open licensing.
With Wits School of Education leading the Southern Africa Node and the Africa Deans of Education Forum supporting institutional mobilisation, NOTES is building a Network of Practice that connects educators to share expertise, co-create resources and strengthen institutional capacity for inclusive teacher education.
