Teacher Training

Currently many developing nations are suffering from a shortage of well  qualified teachers,     especially in rural areas where they are needed the most.  Since Planet Aid is dedicated to helping create sustainable development in the countries where we work, it is natural that we give our utmost support to programs that support the education of children. Planet Aid, Inc. supports DNS Teacher Training programs operated by members of the Federation Humana People to People worldwide DNS Teacher Training is a program, created and designed by members of Humana People to People, to address the growing need for primary school teachers in rural areas of the developing world. The program operates in conjunction with local and national authorities on education in order to produce passionate, qualified graduates. In addition to teachers who are invested in the education of their students, the program seeks to produce teachers who also serve as community leaders.

The DNS Teacher Training Program is organized around Teacher Training Colleges established and  operated by members of the International Humana People to People Federation and is supported by Planet Aid, Inc. as well as the United States Government and national governments around the  world.

Humana People to People members operate 24 Teacher Training Colleges, which annually graduate more than 2,400 qualified and compassionate teachers for the rural areas of Angola (11), Mozambique (11) and Malawi (2); plus One World University which trains teaching instructors for the colleges and offers a second degree program in “Fighting Shoulder to Shoulder with the Poor.”  Each of these schools has been supported by Planet Aid.
