“A community is everything.”
So says Professor Njoki Wane, chair of the department of social justice education at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).
Wane is one of the recipients of this year’s African Scholars Awards – a recognition given to faculty, students, alumni and community leaders by the African Alumni Association at U of T.

SPOTLIGHT
New Post on KAREN MUNDY's Blog
Karen Mundy is a leading expert on education in the developing world. She has published widely on international development and has worked as an advisor for many international organizations.
In 2018 I  returned to the University of Toronto following a four year stint as the Chief Technical Officer at the Global Partnership for Education, the world’s largest global fund providing more than $500 million per year to 67 developing countries. At GPE, I led the development of GPE’s Strategic Plan 2015-2020, its Gender Equality Strategy, its Results Framework, Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy (2015-2020), and the publication of GPE’s first two Results Reports. I also built GPE’s Education Policy and Performance Team from scratch – when started it was a team of one – and when I left EPP was a group of 25 technical experts, dedicated to supporting knowledge exchange, policy learning, quality assurance and evaluation for the members of the partnership.
