Focus Area
Quality Education
Equipping teachers to ensure every child receives a quality education
Current Situation
There is a variety and consistency to the quality of teaching in schools, as well as a lack of teacher professional development. This means teachers may be ill-equipped to provide the very best education to their learners. This focus area considers how do we ensure that every child receives a quality education? How do we monitor and track our partner schools and ensure they are improving? How do we promote the attitudes of a truly inspiring teacher?
Why this Focus Area?
In order for a child to discover their pathways and truly have options, we will need the very best education and teachers. This focus area looks at how we can support our partner schools to provide quality education.
