Contemporary issues in Education

This research cluster examines some of the pressing and contemporary issues in education. It explores some innovative learning design such as Universal design for Learning (UDL) and Blended Learning that adopts a flexible and inclusive pedagogy to support learner’s autonomy and needs. The cluster also examines the role of technology in shaping the future design and delivery of educational programmes.

Education is a rapidly changing field marked with the adoption of innovative pedagogy and technology, inequality in the access to a quality education, however, is still largely witnessed around the world. This research cluster therefore also explores education in the context of international development with emphasis on early grade reading assessment and intervention.
