BRITE Futures for Secondary School Students

AET aims to provide tools, training and hands-on opportunities for teachers and students to engage with these subjects and develop the skills that will help put them on the path to success. AET supports students, teachers and potential employers to map and identify where gaps exist in student’s education, training and understanding of the relevance of education to their future job prospects. By identifying gaps, AET is able to work with educators and professionals to develop innovative and creative approaches that smooth students transition to higher education and the workforce. These range from improving science education through establishing mobile science-labs to bring improved equipment and lessons to under-resourced schools to explore e-learning opportunities. Or it could be improving hands-on computer experience through establishing extra-curricular clubs to deliver integrated ICT and business workshops. AET also seeks opportunities to link students to mentors across different industries and provide comprehensive career guidance. AET works to pilot these initiatives with the aim of scaling up their use across school systems in the regions where we work.
