JET would like to commend and congratulate Craig Gibbs who has been appointed as executive manager: Implementation and Innovation at JET as of the 1st of March 2023.
Craig has been with JET for ten years as a Specialist Manager, Leadership and Management. He holds a Master's of Science Degree in Research (Distinction) from the University of Portsmouth and is about to complete his Doctorate on the impact of E-Learning on teacher development. He has 25 years' experience as an educator in South Africa and England where he was a Principal for over 10 years.
He has a wide range of experience in managing projects throughout South Africa working for JET Education Services. He has been heavily involved in designing, developing and implementing Leadership & Management, Teacher, Learner and Community programmes linked to Provincial, District and School development in Mpumalanga, North West, Limpopo, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. He has also been instrumental in developing and delivering JET's E-Learning programme in over 100 schools throughout South Africa as well as designing the Parent, Community Involvement and Leadership programme as part of the Anglo American South Africa school programme.
He has written concept papers and many successful competitive proposals that have provided the opportunity to implement a variety of intervention programmes across South Africa. A key focus has been around innovative conceptualisation and the design of programmes which have the potential to positively impact on education systems and assist in exploring changes to practise and policy in order to meet the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
We wish him all the luck in his new role and look forward to the great things that he will accomplish.
