Project Management for Education and School Infrastructure

School and campus projects carry expectations from learners, parents, education authorities and communities, and they usually have to be delivered around the academic calendar. This course covers planning and delivering education infrastructure, from classrooms and laboratories to student housing and libraries. Examples are drawn from basic education and higher education projects across the continent.

What you will be able to do

  • Define education project scope from enrolment and curriculum needs.
  • Plan delivery around the academic calendar and examination periods.
  • Coordinate classrooms, laboratories, ablutions and connectivity as one build.
  • Manage funding conditions from government, donors and development agencies.
  • Engage school leadership, parents and communities during the project.
  • Hand over facilities that are safe, usable and ready for teaching.
