Initially training as a primary school teacher, Jo worked in a Chinese teacher training college as a volunteer with\u00a0<\/span>Voluntary Service Overseas, and has taught primary age children in the UK and in China. After completing an MA in Education and International Development, she joined the UK Department for International Development. Overseas postings allowed her to work on education programmes in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda (with the European Commission) and Rwanda. Much of her work in these countries concentrated on working with national governments to develop, implement and monitor ambitious education strategies, whilst working simultaneously with key development partners to jointly finance education strategies \u2013 and strengthen accountability for results. Jo also held several positions at DFID\u2019s London Headquarters, playing a leading role in shaping the organisation\u2019s education policy, and strengthening technical capacity. Jo became UNICEF\u2019s Associate Director for Education in February 2013. She is looking forward to working with UNICEF\u2019s extensive global network to accelerate work on equity in education (especially girls\u2019 education), put learning at the heart of all UNICEF\u2019s education programmes, and explore how innovation (including, but not only technology) might contribute to improving educational opportunities for children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23014,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"members-type":[873],"class_list":["post-23013","biography","type-biography","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","members-type-authors"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ms Josephine Bourne - WISE (Qatar Foundation)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wise.staging-dev.com\/ar\/biography\/ms-josephine-bourne\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ar_AR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ms Josephine Bourne - WISE (Qatar Foundation)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jo\u2019s career has been guided by a passion to enable children \u2013 especially children living in the poorest countries in the world \u2013 to reach their full potential through access to good quality education.
