FAWEZI Hosts High-Level Stakeholders Meeting on Bridging Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAWEZI, with support from FAWE and the Mastercard Foundation, convened a high-level stakeholders meeting in Zimbabwe to explore how bridging programs can open doors to higher education for young people. The meeting brought together education leaders, policymakers, and academic experts to reflect on strategies that can address the gaps faced by students transitioning to university, especially in STEM fields.<\/p>\n

The first panel discussion focused on Zimbabwe\u2019s current policy environment, highlighting both the challenges and the opportunities in implementing STEM-focused bridging programs within state universities. This was followed by a second panel where representatives from a Ugandan university shared their experience in running similar programs. Their insights offered practical, regionally grounded recommendations that Zimbabwe can adapt to its unique context.<\/p>\n

This timely and inclusive dialogue is part of a broader commitment to ensuring that no young woman or man is left behind in the pursuit of higher education. By bringing local and regional voices to the table, the meeting marked a crucial step toward building scalable, transformative solutions for the future.<\/p>\n

FAWEZI Engages Education Ministry on Grassroots Learning and Teacher Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAWEZI, in partnership with FAWE, met with Zimbabwe\u2019s Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Dr. Torerayi Moyo, to discuss key areas of collaboration in the education sector. The engagement centered on strengthening learning at the grassroots level, improving education financing, and enhancing continuous professional development for teachers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Moyo commended FAWEZI for its long-standing dedication to training educators using transformative approaches. He emphasized the importance of such initiatives in breathing life into FAWE\u2019s guiding motto, \u201cEducation for Change.\u201d The Minister also acknowledged the ongoing challenge many teachers face in accessing further training after their initial qualification, recognizing FAWEZI\u2019s efforts in bridging that gap.<\/p>\n

This meeting not only reaffirmed FAWE\u2019s role in shaping teacher development in Zimbabwe but also underscored the Ministry\u2019s commitment to partnerships that uplift the education system from the ground up.<\/p>\n

FAWE and UNICEF Zimbabwe Reaffirm Shared Commitment to Girls\u2019 Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAWEZI and FAWE paid a working visit to UNICEF Zimbabwe to strengthen their ongoing collaboration in advancing gender-responsive education. The meeting focused on areas of shared priority, including increasing STEM uptake among girls and leveraging FAWE\u2019s tested models to support learners in a fast-changing world.<\/p>\n

Both organizations reaffirmed their commitment to working closely in promoting inclusive, quality education for girls. By aligning efforts, FAWE and UNICEF continue to champion solutions that empower the next generation of women leaders and changemakers in Zimbabwe and across Africa.<\/p>\n

This visit marks a deepening of the strategic partnership between FAWE and UNICEF and reflects a united vision for transformative education that leaves no girl behind.<\/p>\n

FAWEZI Engages FCDO Zimbabwe to Advance Inclusive Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a courtesy visit to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in Zimbabwe, FAWEZI and FAWE met with Caitlin Spence, Social Development Advisor, to introduce their joint efforts in advancing education for women and girls across Africa.<\/p>\n

The meeting offered an opportunity to present FAWE\u2019s impact and explore areas of future collaboration. Discussions focused on shared goals around inclusive and quality education, and the potential for meaningful partnerships to drive change in the region.<\/p>\n

FAWEZI and FAWE expressed their commitment to working with FCDO and other key actors to create learning environments that are equitable, empowering, and future-focused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
