Scope

Description

This project focuses on enhancing English language teaching methodologies for schools' teachers, aligning with the Venezuelan context, legislation, and national curriculum. Through strategic partnerships and innovative approaches, the project aims to elevate the quality of English education in public schools, ensuring equitable access to high-quality learning opportunities for all students. For this purpose, we require a service provider to design and deliver a programme to introduce English in the early and lower primary years (Pre-school and 1st to 3rd grade) in public schools. This means that our main audience for this project will be generalist teachers. The delivery of courses should align to the international standards of quality and policies of the British Council
