Teaching in Peru
|
At Projects Abroad we are particularly proud of our Teaching project in Peru. We are working with the Peruvian Education Ministry on an 8-year scheme to update the English curriculum for 26 schools in the Sacred Valley between Cusco and Machu Pichu. The English curriculum, created in the city of Lima is not always relevant to children in the more rural Sacred Valley, and local English speakers who would otherwise be teachers are often more tempted by the higher salaries on offer in the local tourist industry. If the scheme is a success it will be applied to more rural schools in Peru. This project is run by our Peru Director, Tim de Winter - previously an education specialist with UNICEF.
