Description and Impact

In the Cayo District, the primary schools are crowded and lack resources. This makes it easy for students to fall behind academically. As a teacher assistant, you will be able to support the teachers and give students the individualized attention that they deserve. You will be making a difference in the lives of students and will help empower the future generation. If you are considering a career in education and want to have an impact in the community, this is a great project in which to gain experience and interact directly with primary school students.

What is the overall goal of the project? The program aims to provide a support system for primary school teachers in the Cayo district. Teacher assistants will allow teachers to better execute their jobs and present a more well-rounded education.
