Teacher Training

We were pleased to find that one of the enterprising colleges in Zambia is now offering distance learning teacher education programs. We were even more excited to learn that our Head Teacher in Kasompe, Loveness, was eager to enroll in the program with HealthEd Connect's financial support. The government recently adopted a new policy giving head teachers two years to obtain a teaching certificate. She attends a group class near her home a couple of times a month and then goes to class two weeks full-time three times during the year. In between she completes assignments via a computer rented from the college. This is an excellent program for teachers who are working full time.
