Rewrite the Future Global Evaluation – Southern Sudan Midterm Country Report

Rewrite the Future is a global programme and campaign by Save the Children that aims to bring quality education to children in countries affected by conflict. The global evaluation seeks to investigate how Save the Children’s project level interventions have contributed to improving the quality of primary education for children affected by conflict. The evaluation is being carried out in two phases, a 2008 phase (focusing on process) and a 2010 phase (focusing on the outcomes). It includes case studies of four country programmes: Angola, Nepal, Southern Sudan and Afghanistan. Each country evaluation team has selected a particular area of focus to illustrate an innovative and effective approach that targets the particular issues in the quality of education within that country. The area of focus in the Southern Sudan Midterm Country Report is teacher training. Under Rewrite the Future, Save the Children has trained 1760 teachers through a range of different training programmes. Training programmes cover content as well as methodology to allow for the fact that many teachers have not completed primary school.
