How can a new qualification open doors for refugees and displaced young people, whose education has been disrupted by conflict, displacement, and crisis?


I spoke with Jane Mann, Managing Director for the Partnership for Education at Cambridge University Press and Assessment, and Education Director for International Education at Cambridge, about the new partnership between Cambridge and Alsama Project to develop and scale the G12++ qualification - a recognised pathway designed to help displaced learners access university, vocational training, and employment. Jane discusses why traditional education pathways can leave talented young people behind, how the G12++ seeks to recognise capability and potential rather than simply test curriculum knowledge, and the challenge of creating a rigorous global qualification that remains relevant to learners from diverse backgrounds.
