When Timoteo Ombati, an outstanding graduate from Kenyatta University in Kenya, was inducted in the Aga Khan Academy’s Teacher Preparation Programme (TPP) in Mombasa in 2016, he was elated. “I couldn't hide my joy,” he says exuberantly, “I celebrated with the whole village!” The TPP, a multi-phase programme, was designed by the Aga Khan Academies to train outstanding graduates from public universities to teach one or more of the International Baccalaureate programmes to become transformative educators in their communities.
