Capacity development in Thailand

In 2016, the Ministry of Education announced plans for a more rigorous approval framework to raise the standard of textbooks available in state schools.

This collaboration grew from IPST’s work with Cambridge International Examinations to review and refine the new curriculum.

Capacity development in Kazakhstan

The Kazakh government adopted a trilingual policy requiring schools to teach subjects in Kazakh, Russian, and English.

We were instrumental in designing a programme of training and remote capacity development support.
