Introduction by Irrawaddy Policy Exchange (IPE)
Formative Student Survey
TIDE will conduct a formative survey for students, preferably, 3rd and 4th year students. Both distant and campus students can take the survey. The survey link will, when ready, be sent to Rectors, Pro-Rectors and Focal Leads of TIDE universities then can freely share to students via convenient channels (webpage, Facebook groups etc). The survey has about 10 short and easy questions and requires at least 10 students per university (can be more than 10 students).
TIDE Gateway Courses Outreach approach
TIDE aims to reach 50,000 students through online gateway courses and explored the best possible ways to reach targeted number with focal leads. The Student Gateway Courses are_
