In-Service Teacher Training

According to the 2021 Education Census Report, 46 percent of primary education teachers in South Sudan are volunteers without training. More than 30,000 volunteers teaching in South Sudanese schools need to be trained to offer quality education to the children already enrolled.

Component 1 of the project provides training to in-service teachers, particularly volunteer teachers, to improve their teaching practices. It also provides accelerated secondary education to existing uncertified teachers so they may become qualified to teach.

Teachers in refugee-hosting areas receive additional support for language training and socioemotional well-being. The project prioritises training for female teachers, who make up only about 18 percent of the country's 60,711 teachers.
