1.4a.18 WR

World Relief (WR) and local partner the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) will build on past experience to continue and improve delivery of progressive, standardized in-service training to primary school teachers across six states in Southern Sudan. The in-service trainings promote GoSS certification of teachers and use the official four-stage GoSS in-service curriculum. Early Childhood Development (ECD) training for preschool teachers and Parent Teacher Association (PTA) trainings will reach select locations. Training will directly equip more than 1,000 teachers, head teachers and MoEST officials. WR and ECS work with local, state, and national MoEST authorities to plan the proposed strategy and activities, following GoSS priorities. Civil society groups (such as school and local leaders) also guide planning.
