Continuous Professional Development

There is little in-service training or professional development on offer in South Sudan: teachers received only two days of training on content and pedagogies appropriate for the newly introduced competency-based curriculum.

Component 1 supports the development of a scalable and effective teacher professional development system that prepares new teachers to meet future needs and supports in-service teachers to improve their teaching practices.

Prioritising teacher professional development is critical to strengthening school systems and improving human capital accumulation. Effective teachers can significantly enhance students' long-term academic, socioemotional and professional achievements.
