Affiliation: University of Cape Town

Bursary Awarded: 2015

Craig Paxton

My experience at UKFIET 2015 was outstanding in a number of ways: from the bursary dinner sitting in a venerable old Oxford hall, rubbing shoulders with education luminaries whose work I’d read and cited; to the high calibre presentations from around the world; to the opportunity to present my own work as a young researcher; to the valuable contacts made over tea. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity the bursary afforded me – as a developing country researcher based at a small non-profit, travel and attendance at high quality conferences like this would simply not be affordable otherwise. My experiences at UKFIET 2015 opened doors for me.

Craig presented his paper Growing sustainable rural schools in South Africa at the conference.
