TESSA
Thousands of African school children and their teachers are set to benefit from an initiative to bring distance education to some of the remotest parts of the continent.
Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) is a partnership programme aimed at improving the overall quality of teaching, with particular emphasis on basic education. It will provide online training for teachers, helping meet the demand to train thousands more teachers.
