Schools group Globeducate has five leading figures in the education world joining its new Global Advisory Board.
The five include former UK education secretary Baroness Estelle Morris and renowned educator and author Professor Mick Waters, also from the UK.
In addition, they have recruited the award-winning computer scientist and AI researcher Dr Nuria Oliver, from Spain; global school improvement expert Trillium Hibbeln currently based in Shanghai; and Carlo Giardinetti, based in at Franklin University, Switzerland. He will advise on sustainability and net-zero strategies in organisations.
“Globeducate´s newly formed Global Advisory Board will provide a forum for new ideas and for collaboration,” explains the group’s chief education officer, Daniel Jones.
“We are delighted to be able to count on the support, insights and advice from leaders in the fields of international education, research, governmental institutions, sustainability and digital technologies.
“The board members have generously agreed to give their time to Globeducate on a voluntary basis and will meet with us as a group twice a year as well as visit our schools.
“They are excited by Globeducate’s work and are keen to lend their support to our mission to enable each student to shape the world.”
Globeducate’s chief executive Luca Uva said: “This project has been important to us for a long time. Now, in this post-Covid period, we find education is at the heart of recovery and we are delighted to be working with these five leading international figures in educational leadership, policy, curriculum design, technology and sustainability.
“I know they are looking forward to visiting our schools, where they will witness first-hand some of the great work that is taking place. We are all excited about where this latest powerful union will take us.”
