Project Description
In post-apartheid South Africa, over-burdened teachers, committed to change,struggle to adapt, and need support.Desperately under-resourced, teachers are working in schools where the pupil to staff ratio is in excess of 60:1. The schools in this project have been identified for their innovation and dynamism. Previous volunteers have observed that despite the deprivation, they are joyful places to work, where the vast majority of teachers are professional and committed, and the children are eager to learn. Though many of the teachers are qualified and professional, the education system is still in a state of transition.
