CALL FOR MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE STORIES
Are you part of a programme or initiative that encourages women and girls to join the teaching profession? Do you know of any initiative that has led to the increase of female educators in your country? Here is an opportunity for you to share your story or nominate any individual, institution or organization whose initiative has greatly inspired women and girls to become female educators in
the country.
The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) are searching for stories of innovative approaches that support and encourage girls and women not only to join the teaching fraternity but also to become inspiring teachers. Tell us about the ‘Most Significant Change’ these initiatives have brought.

The competition is open for individuals, institutions, and organizations in Zambia, Kenya, The Gambia, Mali and Burkina Faso.
