Building the Education site

Photograph: Carol Oughton

We are building the skeleton of our site at present.

It will take some months for it to take shape.

The site will link TALULAR (Teaching And Learning Using Locally Available Resources) ideas to the learning areas found in African teacher education.

Please feel free to check our links and content as it develops.
