HEI-ICI projects in JAMK's School of Professional Teacher Education

Teaching is a practical academic profession in which both theoretical knowledge and understanding and versatile practical skills are needed.

In the TEPATE Project, our experts in partnership with our partners work to improve the theory-practice balance of two Mozambique higher education institutions so that the next generations of Mozambique teachers are better equipped to facilitate learning for diverse learners in the classroom as well as other learning environments.

The goal of "Developing Pedagogy for 21st Century Skills in Nepal" project is to strengthen the capacity of higher education in Nepal to enhance equal access to education through digital learning opportunities.

In order to achieve this, the development activities aim to provide students with 21st century skills. 

In Ethiopia we continue the previous development work in teacher education.

In MOPEDE project 2020-2024 experts in all partner universities work to improve and modernize the accessibility and quality of VET teacher education around Ethiopia by institutionalized and curricula integrated e-learning, updated teaching and learning methods and student-centered pedagogy.

JAMK contributing to solving the global learning crisis

Education is a fundamental human right and is essential for realising other human rights. Access to quality education means empowering people by helping them to acquire skills, knowledge, values and attitudes that are critical to secure their basic socio-economic needs and enable the sustainable development of their societies. During 2020–2024 JAMK University of Applied Sciences will develop teacher training in Ethiopia, Nepal and Mozambique with a total of EUR 3.8 million in HEI-ICI project funding, thus tackling the global learning crisis.

The Higher Education Institutions Institutional Cooperation Instrument (HEI ICI) supports cooperation projects between higher education institutions in Finland and the developing world.

The projects support the HEIs as they develop their subject-specific, methodological, educational and administrative capacity. The programme is funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and administered by the Finnish National Agency for Education.
