Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE), in partnership with HELVETAS Tanzania, a Swiss Intercooperation, Kibabii University (KIBU), and the University of Juba (UJ), is implementing a 30-month research project titled “Strengthening Teacher Professional Development and Mentorship (STPDM)” in Tanzania, Kenya, and South Sudan. The project is funded by IDRC-Canada in collaboration with the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) under the Knowledge Innovation and Exchange (KIX) programme. This project aims to generate lessons on effective teacher mentorship and support models for continuous professional development, build the capacity of teacher mentors and teachers to improve classroom teaching and learning outcomes, and mobilise policy uptake of teacher mentorship and support models for strengthening primary school teacher capacity

As part of this initiative, DUCE offers two (2) partially funded PhD scholarships to highly deserving students on a competitive basis. Applicants are expected to align their PhD projects with the goals of the STPDM project, particularly by investigating innovative approaches to teacher professional development well-being and agency while integrating ICT, life skills and gender equity to enhance education quality and promote sustainable teaching practices in East Africa
