Welcome to MOFET

the National Institute for Research and Development in Education.

We are a globally unique institution operating to influence multi-level education systems and to advance system-wide changes. 

MOFET is a central multicultural hub connecting institutions and agencies across the education field, including academic institutions for teacher education and for educational research, local and national governmental entities led by the Ministry of Education, and social/NGO organizations.

Our purpose is to spearhead effective educational change processes that can bring about crucial improvements in the teaching profession and in teacher education.

The Institute seeks to identify 21st-century educational challenges and to design long-term strategic solutions based on research evidence and innovative developments.

Specifically, The MOFET Institute operates to achieve seven main goals:

Developing and leading effective long-term change processes to improve learning and teaching – while spanning multiple systems from preschool/school settings to teachers’ preparation.

Supporting efforts to improve teachers’ own academic education and the quality of education that they can provide their students – by developing, testing, and disseminating innovative teaching/learning pedagogies.

Initiating and promoting applied research, writing, and publishing in the education field.

Advancing theoretical and practical academic knowledge and integrating it systematically along the various stages of teachers’ professional development – while harnessing the collaboration of experts and mentors.

Promoting local, national, and international cooperation in applied research and in program development for student education and teacher education.

Improving the quality of teaching/learning methods by advancing and leveraging connections between the academia, policymakers, and educational practitioners in the field.

Contributing actively to the formation, evaluation, and long-term sustainability of policies and strategic procedures in education systems.

MOFET’s operative strategy focuses on three networks that inter-collaborate in the areas of research, development, application, and professional learning.
