The League for the Exchange of Commonwealth Teachers (LECT) is offering teachers in Scotland the opportunity to gain an in-depth insight into education in Malawi through focused group study visits in October 2006 and February 2007. Teachers who want an exciting professional development opportunity and the chance to experience the challenges of education in a developing country first hand are invited to apply. This is a unique opportunity to be refreshed and reinvigorated, to reflect on practice from a very new perspective, and to develop your school’s international work. Visits will be based on mutual exchange of skills and experience between Scottish and Malawian colleagues and will focus on the themes of citizenship and health education. The programme will include visits to urban and rural schools and meetings with educators, policy makers and teacher trainers. Primary and secondary schools are invited to apply nominating a member of staff to participate in the visit. Those with leadership responsibilities related to the theme of the visit are particularly encouraged to apply. The closing date for applications is 31 July 2006. Visit the Scotland page of the LECT website for full information.
