Teacher Training for Inclusive Girls’ Education in Sierra Leone

The project supports 210 young women in rural areas, who face a number of key barriers to completing their education to become teachers, thus increasing the number of available and qualified female teachers in Sierra Leone. TTIGE aims its interventions at two specific stages: i) providing vulnerable young women (aged 18-26 years) in rural communities with an accessible route to becoming qualified teachers, and equipping them with practical teaching experience engaging with children in schools through the Learning Assistant phase. ii) continuing to support the young women’s successful entry into and completion of the Teacher Training College (TTC) in order to be successfully accredited and employed as primary school teachers.
