HEP-TED envisions three outcomes: enhanced management capacities within HEIs, improved teacher education quality, and strengthened cross-institutional collaboration. To achieve these goals, the project supports the development of internal quality assurance mechanisms, training educators in competence-based curricula and inclusive pedagogies, as well as fostering collaboration among Rwandan and Finnish HEIs.
Highlighting the transformative vision of the HEP-TED project, the following impact statement underscores the collaborative efforts between Rwandan and Finnish higher education institutions towards sustainable societal development through quality teacher education for both general education and TVET.
