A global network driving education technology transformation

Now is a pivotal moment for the digital transformation of education in South Asia and Southeast Asia. 

Technology has the potential to transform education for the better, but only if it is approached holistically and strategically.  

The HP Cambridge Partnership for Education EdTech Fellowship is an exclusive programme for leaders dedicated to developing the skills, knowledge and network needed to drive successful digital education transformation. 

Our programme

  • Hybrid programme June - October 2024 and alumni network

Leaders of organisations outside of the government that hold or support these responsibilities are also welcome to apply. 

Who should apply?

The fellowship follows a three-strand curriculum, looking at: 

What will you learn?

Policy 

  • How you can use evidence and user-centred design to address challenges in your education system. 

  • How you can build a prototype of a solution, develop that solution and scale it. 

  • How you can secure and grow the confidence of colleagues and end-users, such as teachers and students, throughout. 

Leadership 

  • How you can mobilise stakeholders from across government, the private sector and civic society to lead a coalition for change. 

EdTech 

  • How you can use EdTech to improve learning outcomes across your national education system. 

  • What research shows about what works and what does not when it comes to EdTech. 

Every region and country has specific challenges and opportunities, and the fellowship aims to equip participants with a toolkit to navigate those changes in their unique context for sustainable, long-term impact. 

The curriculum will draw on perspectives from around the world but will be tailored to meet the specific needs of participants from South and Southeast Asia.
