How can educational technology provide learners with the "key to making a real impact" within our rapidly changing world? Aigerim Khafizova, #Fulbright alum from Kazakhstan and EdTech consultant, shares: "The past decade in EdTech has shown me the importance of being adaptable and focusing on the needs of learners. I've seen how technology can transform education when it meets the evolving needs of both students and teachers. My working experience in the developing world has highlighted the crucial role of technology in bridging educational gaps. The pandemic underscored the need for flexible and resilient solutions. With the challenges of climate change and the rise of AI, it's vital to ensure no one is left behind in the global workforce." Aigerim Khafizova is currently a consultant on the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint initiative, and recently founded her second education company called Synterium. She credits her Fulbright as a "turning point" in her career, as interning in the Silicon Valley with EdTech companies gave her "the foundational knowledge and global perspective to see the boundless potential of integrating education with technology." 📸 1.
