Cuso International volunteers work on teacher training, leadership and management training for school leaders, ESL teaching, and improved primary education, particularly for girls.
We do this because millions of people around the world are missing out on primary education, and struggle to acquire the basic skills they need to unleash their potential for their communities.
In 2011-12, we supported 115 volunteers and 74 partner groups working on education programs in 15 countries.
