More and more, universities and technical schools are emphasizing internationalization and ensuring that education prepares students for lives and careers as global citizens, who are able to navigate the multiple dimensions and complexities of modern life. The GCED toolkit supports the establishment of formal GCED learning, adoption of new teaching approaches and uptake of GCED learning by Commonwealth students.
Partner universities are provided with the course material and instructor training. The toolkit and teaching method uses cross-disciplinary, peer-based and hands-on learning with local case studies from current events, student journals and scholarly research. While accreditation of the toolkit is underway, the pilot universities will award students a certificate of completion. The GCED Toolkit is piloted in partnership with Bangladesh Open University, Maseno University (Kenya) and T he University of the West Indies (St Augustine Campus).
