Abdul Mun-im Tamimu

Peer Mentor (Spot Lead)

Abdul Mun-im Tamimu is an educator, youth leader, and emerging learning sciences researcher working at the intersection of equity, culturally responsive pedagogy, and digital learning innovation in Ghana. With five years of classroom and community-based experience, he designs learning environments that transform limited resources into powerful opportunities for inquiry, creativity, and learner agency—particularly for historically underserved communities. He holds a Bachelor of Education from Bagabaga College of Education, where he developed a strong foundation in educational psychology and the learning sciences. His work is guided by a central question: How can learning systems—from curricula and pedagogy to technology and teacher practice—expand opportunity rather than reproduce inequality?

Abdul Mun-im brings a rare blend of practice-based insight and research orientation. He has contributed to survey-based studies and peer literature reviews (currently under review for publication) and is skilled in evidence-based intervention design, quantitative and mixed-methods research, data collection and analysis, and using data to inform instructional and program improvement. His work focuses on translating theory into scalable, culturally grounded solutions. Before joining EduSpots Ghana, Abdul Mun-im served as program manager at the Youth Center for Human Capital Development Foundation (2023), where he led community development initiatives to improve livelihoods. He designed and led post-harvest management training for farmer groups in Dulun Community, training over 50 rural maize farmers in improved storage and silo construction to reduce aflatoxin-related losses. He also led WASH programs for junior high schools in the Kumbungu District, promoting sanitation and public health awareness. At EduSpots Ghana, Abdul Mun-im led the transformation of Eco-STEM learning-spot sessions into rigorous, inquiry-driven science experiments, enabling authentic problem-solving and innovation. This work earned him the Emerging Eco-STEM Catalyst of the Year Award (2025). Abdul Mun-im joined the Spot Lead peer mentoring role to mentor catalysts in building community-based models that address educational challenges, foster community participation in education, and generate research evidence on effective practice.

He seeks advanced training in learning sciences research, design-based inquiry, learning analytics, and professional development program design to lead and scale equitable digital learning innovations for community impact across Ghana and Africa, and he welcomes collaboration with NGOs, researchers, funders, and mission-driven institutions.
