Peru’s Ministry of Education and EDC are working together to improve education quality and promote digital literacy in the Junin, Pasco, and Ucayali regions. Photojournalist Karl Grobl recently traveled to the Pasco region in Peru to document the work we’re doing with teachers to develop project-based learning through the use of technology to engage and enliven the classroom. By project-based learning, we mean the use of strategies that encourage active, student-centered learning and provide opportunities for students and teachers to work and learn together.
Grobl visited teacher training workshops, classrooms, and spent time with project participants in their own communities. Our virtual field trip to Pasco features Grobl’s capitivating images and explains how this project works to train teachers and create better learning environments using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The initiative is implemented through the International Development Division (IDD) of EDC and its resource partners. It is part of the dot-EDU Cooperative Agreement, funded by the US Agency for International Development.
