Teacher Support Programme

The Rössing Foundation regards support for teachers to be vital, as a single, well-equipped teacher is able to benefit a minimum of 30 learners. The teacher support programmes are either conducted at centres or through the mobile unit on school visits to rural areas as part of Rössing Foundation’s National Outreach Programme.

Overall, the three Rössing Foundation Centres supported 498 teachers during 2019. This is the highest number of teachers to have been supported at the centre level. The support is significant, as it strengthens knowledge and skills of teachers and it enables them to provide needed quality education delivery to benefit learners. Furthermore, it is quite satisfactory that for the first time support to the English teachers have increased at all the centres, but more so at the Ondangwa Centre, a good sign since the English language has been found to be a challenge in some schools in the northern regions of the country.
