They'd already slashed teacher training course durations for both primary (from 2 years to 1) and secondary teachers (from 4 years to 3), but this is very worrying. One of the keys to development anywhere is a solid education system.
How the hell do they manage this problem though? They have a shortage, largely because Aids is killing so many. This damages the quality of education children receive, and often classes can sit waiting for a teacher. Yet if they take steps to remedy that, like they are, the quality of teaching is reduced.
Well, which is it? Quality or quantity?
I suppose it has to be quantity. Get more kids through school and you have more potential teachers to train. And the kids are better off at a bad school than no school at all.
