The work of the UNESCO Chair is governed through a Chair Forum at Wits. The Chair is also supported by a robust knowledge network of a transcontinental community of thinkers and researchers, that addresses the pressing challenges of teacher education, enabling the translation of some of our work into tools for schools and universities in the region. The network footprint enables us to reconnect different parts of the world through the Chair.
