Teacher agency for change
· Dr Dawit Tibebu Tiruneh, Assistant Research Professor, REAL Centre, University of Cambridge
· Professor Thasmai Dhurumraj, Faculty of Education, University of the Western Cape (Chair)
This seminar explores how teacher agency shapes the implementation of national education reforms in the Global South, drawing on evidence from Ethiopia to show how teachers actively mediate how reforms are realised in classrooms, and with what consequences for equity. It will also explore initial teacher education in Kenya, Pakistan and Tanzania.
