Raheem Zafar
Senior Lecturer in International Education - University of Sunderland
I am a Senior Lecturer in International Education at the University of Sunderland and the Module Leader for the PGCE Education (French Medium), the first distance-learning PGCE programme delivered entirely in French. I'm leading the design, development, and global implementation of this innovative programme, scheduled for international launch at the beginning of 2027.
I'm an experienced international education leader with over 25 years of experience across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. My work focuses on global teacher education, distance learning, leadership development, curriculum innovation, and inclusive international education.
I'm also an International School Inspector with the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), contributing to quality assurance and international school standards. I'm currently completing the National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL) with UCL while preparing to begin a PhD in International Education at the University of Sunderland.
