Teacher Training…

Throughout South Sudan, there is a shortage of qualified teachers. The majority of teachers in South Sudan have no formal teacher training and only hold a secondary school certificate. At HOPE for Ariang Foundation, we believe that when there is quality instruction happening in the classroom, then students are much more likely to succeed academically. Qualified teachers foster a more conducive learning environment, student-oriented learning, and positive school growth.
