What makes the Perivoli teacher training model effective in rural Southern Africa?

The programme is tailored to the realities of rural and underserved communities, where access to formal training and classroom resources can be limited. Rather than relying on external inputs, it strengthens existing systems by working with local educators and communities. Continuous mentoring, peer support groups, and culturally relevant teaching approaches help ensure long-term impact. This model supports improvements in school readiness and contributes to stronger early grade outcomes.
