ABOUT CUSO INTERNATIONAL
Cuso International is a non-profit development organization that works through volunteers. Each year, we send hundreds of global citizens to work on collaborative development projects in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are one of North America's leading international development organizations that works through volunteers.
ABOUT THE PARTNER ORGANIZATION
Zanzibar has made remarkable strides to improve access to education. The government of Zanzibar has built thousands of classrooms, recruited hundreds of teachers. As a result 85% of children start primary school and access to secondary school has increased significantly. Despite increased enrolment rates the quality of education is low.
All government schools are administered and managed by the MoEVT. The role of the Ministry is to provide management support to the schools, and also includes the deployment of new teachers. The Ministry is responsible for ensuring that all programs at school level are well implemented.
There are currently 4 teacher training institutions that train teachers. Teachers' in-service professional development has been decentralized to nine Teachers Centres (TC's). TCs support about thirty schools in a cluster and are centrally co-ordinated by the National Teachers Resource Centre (NTRC).
THE VOLUNTEER'S ROLE
Overall placement purpose:
This placement has been developed to work with a cluster of 6 schools in Kembi Samaki (in the capital Stone Town).

The primary methodology for the schools in Kembi Samaki is the development of a low cost approach to whole school in-service support to enhance the capabilities of school leaders and teachers and share learning at operational and Ministry levels.
