To improve your practical knowledge in a school, it is possible to do a traineeship in a Tanzanian school. Volunteers are important for schools as they are a valuable help and support for teachers and students. By bringing them into the classroom, you can collect important skills and experience in the field of teaching and leadership and, in a certain sense, you can help develop the students further and prepare them for life, because they know that “education is the key to life”.

 

Usa River Primary School is a public elementary school with approximately 1,258 students ages 6-14 who are divided into 12 classrooms. This includes 26 teachers. The problem here is that there are about 120 students in a classroom.

• If you are not a teacher or a trainee in the teaching profession and you would like to work at a school, this is still possible.
