Capecam SCHOOL PROGRAMME. At present, existing rural schools are understaffed; one government-recruited head teacher has responsibility for a school with some 300 students, and in Nursery school, 3 teachers currently work with one hundred young children. Volunteers are needed to work in schools, with children up to the age of 13, providing additional teaching support in a range of subjects (Mathematics, French, English, Environmental Education, Hygiene and Sciences). Volunteers could teach in the school for varying lengths of time, between 1 month and 1 year.

TEACHING ORPHANS AND UNDER PRIVILEGED CHILDREN. This programme aims to assist children who cannot cope well under normal classroom conditions. Volunteer Teachers would work with these children to provide them with additional support. This programme also caters for children of mixed ages, but they will be taught together, in a dedicated classroom environment more suitable for their particular needs.

AFTER SCHOOL. Volunteers are needed to provide after-school tuition to children of all ages, in a variety of subjects (Mathematics, French, English, Environmental Education, Hygiene and Sciences).
