Cambridge English partners with Eaquals aiming to embed sustainability in accredited language centres
Under a new Memorandum of Understanding, Eaquals will use Cambridge’s Sustainability Framework for ELT, which provides guidance on embedding sustainability in the classroom.
“It’s essential that future generations are equipped with the skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to make a positive difference in the world. We know that education is a powerful tool for building a sustainable future and at Cambridge, we’re committed to supporting teachers in our sector by giving them the practical skills and knowledge they need to deliver education for sustainability,” says Francesca Woodward, Global Managing Director – English, at Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
“Our Sustainability Framework for ELT is a fantastic vehicle for this, and we’re excited to work with Eaquals to ensure even more people can benefit from the framework and make a positive impact on the world through education.”
The framework allows teachers to support learners in becoming informed, compassionate and innovative agents for positive environmental, social, and economic change.
Lou McLaughlin Executive Director at Eaquals adds: “At Eaquals, our mission has always been to promote excellence and innovation in language education, and embracing sustainability is a natural extension of that mission. Language learning connects people, cultures, and ideas, and through this collaboration with our Associate Member, Cambridge English, we can help teachers equip their learners to become active, responsible global citizens.
“Together, we can ensure that language education not only broadens understanding but also develops the competencies needed to build a more sustainable future and a compassionate world.”
