Mobile Training Team (MTT)

One of APEID’s modalities is the Mobile Training Team (MTT), inaugurated in 1972 with support from the Government of Japan through the Japanese Funds-in-Trust.

The MTT aims to enhance the capacity of Member States to foster educational innovation in a particular field, utilizing the most suitable approaches that include:

  • Arranging for nominated institutions in Member States to benefit from the expertise and experiences of other countries through inter-country study visits, in-country training workshops, internships, training courses, etc.;
  • Assisting the beneficiary country in organizing in-country training workshops for a defined group of participants;
  • Providing some equipment or reference materials as and when necessary; and
  • Providing technical assistance to sustain the implementation of the innovations.

Expected Outcomes and Impacts of MTT

  • Policy-makers and key educational personnel are trained through study visits and workshops
  • Institutional and national capacities are improved
  • Innovative ideas and practices are disseminated
  • Regional networking is strengthened through South-South cooperation and South-North cooperation.
  • A great impact is made on the policy or practice of education

Network
