The need
Most schools in the upper hills rely on teachers who finished secondary school but never trained to teach. Many leave within two years for better paid work in town.
How it works
- Evening and holiday modules at the regional teachers college
- A monthly stipend for each teacher who completes a module
- Classroom visits from a mentor once a term
- A shared library of lesson plans in the local language
Who we work with
A regional teachers college designs the course. District education officers choose which schools take part.
