Program information

This program is ideal for participants studying a related degree or qualification, as it provides an opportunity to applying practical experience to the theoretical knowledge gained in the lecture hall. Assist with teaching classes, coordinating extracurricular games and activities, and help young students develop to their full potential. Schools in this particular community require as much assistance as possible, as they are often overcrowded and under-resourced. You will directly assist in foundation building and setting learners up for the remaining years of their education.
