EDUCATION
PROGRAMME
|
|
|
|
Education is to empower, and to
enable.
|
|
In
2004/5 we administered the Cameroon Women's Scholarship
Programme. It offered ten one million fcfa grants to
help exceptional young Cameroonian women complete a
masters programme in Cameroon. The programme is now run
by by it's alumni.

|
We work with
poorer communities, to help them help themselves, to
build schools, community development progrmmes, and to
become active confident citizens, solving their own
problems.
|
|
|
|
We bring
new ideas and new technologies to improve livelihoods
in rural communities

We work with
school education authorities, helping them provide
quality basic education.

We
have organised IT equipment and resources that will
help deaf children at Njinikejem Baptist School Boyo
Division to learn vocational skills, and their hearing
class-mates to improve sign language communication .

| We are helping education authorities
introduce Education for Sustainable Development into
their schools, colleges and universities |
We designed and delivered a
programme to engage and prepare key stakeholders for
setting up and running medicinal plant gardens in
schools
|
The gardens will promote active and participatory
teaching and learning, and help educators relate
curriculum teaching to everyday issues and contexts
|
| A presentation for schools on
medicinal plant gardens |

| We created a tailor made
course for trainee teachers at the Université
Evangleique du Cameroun, work with UEC to keep the
course updated and have supported teaching two
batches of trainees |
We introduced UECs first CPD course

We encourage teaching of
leadership and citizenship skills in schools -
helping education authorities to establish standards
for school governance and school elections, and to
integrate the principles behind these into everyday
school life. Three booklets have been published,
tested in ten schools, and are standard references
in >50 schools in four regions.

a resource for students and teachers, classroom, club,
debating and informal use.
