Teacher Training & Capacity Strengthening
“According to UNESCO, the achievement of the goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda necessitates an additional 5.4 million teachers at the primary level and 11.1 million at the secondary level in sub-Saharan Africa.”
16 Million Teachers for a Quality Education in Africa
This undeniable truth, as highlighted by the CEO of Teach for Nigeria in a recent post, is particularly relevant in Africa where the standard of teaching is alarmingly low. Teachers, who are often inadequately qualified, lack motivation, receive meager compensation, and are inadequately respected and valued, are faced with the daunting task of educating students in overcrowded classrooms plagued by pervasive poverty and inequality.
According to UNESCO, the achievement of the goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda necessitates an additional 5.4 million teachers at the primary level and 11.1 million at the secondary level in sub-Saharan Africa.
Amidst this challenging landscape, cascade training has emerged as a promising strategy to invigorate the professional growth of educators in Africa and positively impact students’ educational experiences.

Training 5,000 Teachers in Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. According to profuturo, Cascade training is an approach that involves the transmission of knowledge and skills from a group of trained trainers to a larger group of teachers. This strategy is rooted in the belief that teachers can learn effectively from their peers through collaboration, making it a valuable form of professional development.
How does it work? The cascade training process begins with the selection of highly skilled trainers who acquire new knowledge and skills to pass on to their peers. Once the trainers have gained the necessary expertise, the cascade phase commences. During this stage, the trainers share their knowledge with a broader group of teachers, which may include colleagues from the same school, region, or even the entire country.
EiC and Teacher Training in Africa
EiC strongly recognizes the influential role of teachers as catalysts for educational transformation. To empower teachers as change agents within their educational communities, combining cascade training, technology, and digital education, it will improve the quality of the education of millions of children living in vulnerable rural areas.

A quote of Abdelaziz
We cannot do it alone. Together, stronger we can.
Education and learning are not just about books and classrooms; it’s about offering hope, resilience, and the promise of a better future.
Despite the small support provided by EiC and other humanitarian actors, the education needs of children in emergencies far exceeds the assistance that is currently provided.
Greater funding is urgently needed to support the world’s most vulnerable children left behind with lifesaving education.
Let’s stand together to support these children and safeguard their right to education.
Their futures depend on it.
