India Programme

In India we work closely with the Khasi Jaintia Deficit Schools Teachers’ Association (KJDSTA), a tribal teachers’ union from the northeastern State of Meghalaya.  Over a 13 year relationship, we have worked with members of this union to support individual members’ professional development through Global Schoolroom programmes.  We are now embarking on a Training of Trainers programme for KJDSTA members, which will see members of the association supporting each other in response to their own CPD needs.
