Schools
In 2009, TEACH South Africa will place TEACH Ambassadors at schools in Katlehong, Thokoza and Vosloorus, in the Ekurhuleni South District, Gauteng.
For the 2010 academic year, we are currently in negotiations to place TEACH Ambassadors with the Western Cape Education Department, LEAP Schools of Maths and Science, Historic Schools Restoration Project, Limpopo Education Department and the Eastern Cape Education Department.
Schools that form part of the initiative will also receive additional resource support through TEACH South Africa partnerships in order to enhance their teaching environment. Areas that will be addressed include:
- infrastructure: e.g., upgrading of security gates and fences, maintenance of toilets, establishment of media centres
- teaching and learning needs: e.g., feeding schemes for orphaned and vulnerable children, text books and learning materials, governance training
School leaders that are interested in having TEACH Ambassadors teach at their schools, email info@teachsouthafrica.org.
