Education worldwide is governed by policies  that are created by a certain group of people these people live in the UK or Europe or America  and the policies that they make actually affect everybody across the world in Asia in Africa in  South America but their voices are silenced in contributing to how that policy might be enacted  in their context. Our work with Empower deals directly with people who are in the global South -  people in Indonesia Malaysia Nepal and in Pakistan. Hello I'm Saba Fahim and I'm studying Master of  Research at CQU. One should be a technologically focused and globally competent - the world is now  very advanced so I want my country people to be globally competent and to progress, that we will  keep pace with other countries of the world as well. We work with teachers who are implementing  these policies designed in the global North and try to contextualise them to their space. We  help them work out how it might work better for them and their students to get the best  outcomes so that children are equipped to work anywhere in the world and understand the world  that they live in and contribute to that space.
