Pastoralist Teachers

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

AET works to overcome these challenges. We train educators who are able to provide education that is relevant to them. We help people identify a viable teacher within their community. AET then supports these people to gain the skills and training necessary to be able to teach others basic literacy, numeracy and life skills. This training focuses on the skills that are requested by the community to meet their needs and support their way of life. These teachers provide education not just to children but to the community as a whole. With so many pastoralists having missed education as a child, there is a lot of interest and demand for education at all levels from early childhood through to adults. Including girls in these lessons is less challenging when the lessons are offered by someone the community trusts. To support the teachers in their work, we help communities develop livestock holdings that generate an income to pay the teachers’ salaries.
