The E-Resource platform, in 3 language versions (English, Russian and Arabic), will come with up-to-date digital resources and educational materials, capacity building activities and a strong partnership network. It is intended to be used by teachers globally with a focus on the needs of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
