On 31 March 2022, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg released his Annual Report for 2021. The document says (page 102) that NATO supports military education in 15 partner nations through the Defence Education Enhancement Programme. The programme helps partners build, develop and reform their professional military education institutions by establishing validated common references for military education. In 2021, the programme sponsored 308 events — online and in-person — involving 1,172 Allied and 724 partner subject matter experts, and reaching out to over 1,809 partner faculty and students. Achievements of the Defence Education Enhancement Programme in 2021 included: (1) publishing a comprehensive “NATO Strategy for Distance Learning Support” course that helps military academies and schools transform resident curricula into online courses, and empower their faculty to operate in a virtual environment, (2) conducting a five-month “e-Instructor Certification Programme” to enable faculty from seven Allied and 14 partner military schools to educate their peers in online teaching.
