Network background
EnPOWER builds on a strong, well-established network of collaborative partners. Kendall (BCU) and Pham (VNU) have been working together as part of a wider collaborative research and practice development partnership since 2017. In 2020 BCU worked closely with Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam on the teacher education research capacity building strand of the ETEP project with Professor Kendall working as the primary consultant for the project. Supported by ETEP PMU this work built a network of academics across six Universities across Vietnam to undertake 6 collaborative research projects that responded to priorities identified by the teacher education community.
