dc.descriptionThis research study examined the existing nature and effectiveness of HIV instruction, relating to pre-service and in-service teachers (PITs) and teacher trainers in Zambia. It is an official study of the USAID Read to Succeed Project (RTS) in Zambia. Findings identify best practices of HIV education in teacher training institutions (TTIs) in preparing teachers to integrate HIV and AIDS into pre- and in-service teacher training (PITT) programs nationwide and in what is being taught in primary and secondary education curricula. This study examined curricula materials that were taught in the 11 participating TTIs and which are part of the national curriculum teaching requirements at the primary and secondary school levels.en
dc.description.abstractIn an effort to determine what is being taught to pre-service and in-service teachers (PITs) in Zambian schools, this study examined how effective TTIs are at implementing policy directions provided by the Ministry of General Education (MESVTEE) and other government agencies involved with the national response to the AIDS epidemic. Our report is divided into four primary sections. The introduction summarizes the methodology and the study design. The next section looks at the background and overview of HIV education in Zambia. Survey results are then introduced and discussed according to the seven central research questions. In-depth interviews with content area experts (CAEs) help supplement the survey findings as well as provide vivid examples of policy suggestions. The final section summarizes the findings and provides a list of suggested best practices and recommendations for the future of HIV education as it relates to pre-service and in-service teacher training (PITT) programs in Zambia. In terms of the study methodology, this section introduces the list of participating teacher training institutions (TTIs), participant groups, instruments used, training of the research team members, and instruments used for the study.en
