Better Education through Teacher Training and Empowerment for Results (BETTER)

BETTER, which stands for Better Education through Teacher Training and Empowerment for Results, is intended to improve the quality of education for girls and boys in Mozambique by elevating the quality of teacher education at four of the country’s teacher training institutes. Specific improvements will promote gender equality, student-centered methodologies, literacy and language skills, and the creation of quality teaching materials in local languages and in sufficient quantities.

In 2015, as a testament to the impact of Associação Progresso and CODE’s work, the Government of Canada appointed CODE to undertake the delivery of a seven-year, 18 million-dollar teacher education reform program in Mozambique. Better Education through Teacher Training and Empowerment for Results — BETTER — is being implemented, together with Associação Progresso and the Mozambican Ministry of Education and Human Development, in four of the country’s 12 provinces.
