Ivan Kuzio

British education consultant Ivan Kuzio has made an impact in the field of education, particularly in Saudi Arabia. His approach to education addresses the specific needs of the local populace, resulting in the development of an education program, curricula, and assessment that his peers in the Gulf region acknowledged. He spearheaded the creation of the first EU accredited teacher training college in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which involved the development of curricula, structured learning programs, and a suitable assessment that led to a supervised bachelor's degree. As a result, he received three international award nominations for three consecutive years. He is a freelance consultant assessing projects on behalf of EU groups who fund international developments and advises on curricular programs while working with national bodies in Saudi Arabia. Ivan is a strong advocate of holistic learning and believes that any development of education should follow a needs analysis. He encourages empowering students to develop their independent strategies by preparing teachers to engage with student abilities and competencies and develop relevant methodologies.
