ABOUT US
LONG-TERM PROJECTS
Teacher Retention Initiative
Students learn better if taught by teachers who know their abilities well, so we hope the initiative helps reduce teachers' turnover rate and helps attract more teachers to teach in rural areas. We hope that students can receive love from a teacher after spending time with this teacher for years.
