- Support of school inspectorates in developing strategies for improving access to education;
- Developing and delivering training programmes for:
- inspectors to develop their capacity to support and monitor improvement of access to education;
- Teachers already teaching in schools from communities with a significant number of disadvantaged pupils;
- Members of communities to become teachers for primary education in an open education system within accredited teacher training colleges;
- Members of communities to become school mediators within Teacher Training Houses or other educational institutions
- Development of a school based curriculum for second chance vocational education;
- Development of teaching materials for teaching pupils and students in pre-school, primary, after school and second chance education;
- Development of training programmes for disadvantaged communities to facilitate participation in the development of educational provision;
- Liaison with the National Centre for Vocational Education and Training on the development of second chance education facilities;
- Community capacity building and consultation training to facilitate direct involvement of local community and local authorities in educational project implementation;
- Development of open distance learning projects;
