Filed under: GVN, News, Programs, South Africa
Teach in Soweto
Volunteer teaching assistants can help teach core subjects, such as English, mathematics, life skills, and science. Volunteers with varying skills will be able to help in areas of academic and skill development through mentoring and tutoring activities.
Currently there are schools in South Africa that struggle to meet their achievement goals, achieve specific skill sets, and motivate young people. There are many factors contributing to this challenge from high student to teacher ratio, lack of resources, and most important history.
Volunteers will work at Thulasizwe Primary which caters for Grades 5, 6 and 7. Thulasizwe is a public primary school under section 21 and is located in an under-privileged community. The school caters to needy learners coming from poor communities. Thulasizwe has 80% of learners who live in squatter camp settlements and they travel a distance of 15km to come to school.
There will be additional opportunities for tutoring, career development, and organizing extracurricular activities for students.
