| In Kenya as elsewhere, education is acknowledged to be the primary tool for developing the country’s human resource and economic sustainability, but the sector is critically constrained by a dire shortage of teachers and basic infrastructure. According to the Millennium Development Goal No. 2 and Kenya’s Vision 2030, universal primary education has been given the highest priority and the sector attracts the biggest budget allocation in Kenya since 2003. However the slums and the marginalized regions still remains the most disadvantaged in the country and have the difficulty of attracting professional teachers to work there both in primary and secondary schools. NAVNET hopes to work with volunteers in mitigating this gap.
|
| We are currently looking for donors, governments and corporate partners to develop a volunteer program where young graduates from public and private universities can volunteer for a year teaching in rural schools. NAVNET will provide training, guidance and volunteer support for the volunteer program. The program targets at least 500 teacher volunteers in for 100 schools in the rural areas of Kenya for both secondary and primary schools. |
| Our Objective - To enhance the quality of life among the children in primary and secondary schools by providing volunteer teachers and mobilizing education and teaching resources in public and informal schools. |
