Improving the quality of teacher education in Sub-Saharan Africa: lessons learned from a UNESCO-China Funds-in-Trust project

Across sub-Saharan Africa, a shortage of well-trained teachers jeopardizes quality, inclusiveness and equity in education. The UNESCO-China Funds-in-Trust (CFIT) project was launched with the aim of addressing this issue, using information communication technology to improve the methods in teacher training institutes in countries across the region. This booklet describes how the UNESCO-CFIT project started, the choice of beneficiary countries, the implementation strategies and its achievements.
