Summary

SEED Madagascar is seeking £22,257.90 for an eight-month project to strengthen the capacity of 37 teachers across five primary schools in rural Madagascar. In partnership with the Ministry of Education, the project will provide training in curriculum delivery, lesson planning, French language skills, safeguarding, professional conduct, and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention. Through teacher training and classroom support, the project will improve education quality and learning outcomes for students in southeastern Madagascar.

Challenge

In Madagascar, only 17% of teachers hold a pedagogical diploma, with fewer than 3% qualified in many districts of the Anosy region where SEED works. Most teachers are employed through local parent associations (FRAM), receiving inconsistent salaries funded by school fees that are often unpaid. As a result, many teachers have limited formal training and little ongoing support, restricting teaching quality and contributing to poor educational outcomes and regional inequality for rural students.

Solution and long term impact

SEED will deliver an eight-month teacher training project in rural Anosy, supporting 37 teachers from five primary schools in Emagnevy, Esohihy, Tsagnoriha, Beraketa, and Manambaro. Training will focus on teaching methods, French language skills, safeguarding, and GBV prevention, alongside continued classroom mentoring.

The participating schools have already benefited from improved infrastructure through SEED’s Sekoly Programme, including new classrooms, clean water access, improved latrines, solar Light Libraries, and digital learning resources through Project Masoandro. Building on these investments, this project will strengthen teachers’ confidence and classroom practice, improving education quality for 1,704 students and supporting stronger long-term educational outcomes across rural southeastern Madagascar.
