School Partnerships provide a key opportunity for schools in Scotland to link directly with a school in Malawi. These partnerships range from letter writing to teacher training programs, to community-wide development projects. If you are interested in establishing a partnership with a school in Malawi, we can help. E-mail info@scotland-malawipartnership.org. to find out more about starting a partnership.

Since the introduction of free primary education in 1994 there has been a large increase in enrolment . UNICEF estimates 91% of all primary-aged children are enrolled in school. However, this sharp increase has compounded problems of teacher shortages and poor quality infrastructure. Class sizes of 80-100 are common, and some of our partner schools have more than 1000 pupils! School partnerships give Scottish students the chance to see first-hand the challenges faced by pupils on in Malawi, and to truly become global citizens.
