Understanding Transportability [Education]: A Legal Perspective
Definition & Meaning
Transportability in education refers to how easily the activities and outcomes of a project can be replicated in different locations. This includes creating guides or manuals that provide clear, step-by-step instructions for others to follow. The goal is to enable similar projects to achieve comparable results, making it easier for educational initiatives to spread and be adapted in various settings.
