PEDAGOGY TRAINING IN AFRICA
Many theological teachers have had little or no training in how to actually teach!

Faculty Study Grants In Africa
It is a key indictor of improved education for students when faculty are grown in their understanding through higher studies. Their research topics are relevant, and often they are the first to write on an aspect of ministry or mission in their country. Take Dr Alfred Sebahene’s case for example. He writes: “Local Leaders’ support […]
Masters in Transformational Development

The MA is a field based program that reflects on the […]

Faculty Study Grants in Asia
Local Leaders identified some years ago that one of the key ways to improve the educational outcomes for students was to invest in the faculty members’ study.
