How we work

Standardize

A shared standard for 21st-century competencies

We co-design and align a shared 21st-century competency standard with policy and system leaders. This means translating global and national frameworks into one usable language of competence that can be applied in curriculum, programmes, technology, and measurement.

By standardising how competencies are defined and described, we make it possible for different actors in the system to work together toward the same outcomes.

Under the AGGP_SA INSPIRE Programme, we were appointed to provide technical support for the development of a common Entrepreneurial Education competency framework. This work enables AGGP_SA and its grantees to measure, benchmark, and report on entrepreneurial competencies in schools. We delivered:

A comprehensive Entrepreneurial Education competency framework aligned to 21st-century skills
Multi-tier diagnostic tools for learners, teachers, and institutions
A reporting system against which competencies can be measured across grantee partnerships

This work underpins everything that follows: without a coherent standard, there is no way to create equivalence or comparability of competence across programmes or systems.
