125 million children throughout the developing world won't attend school today.

You can help change this

Without the chance to learn, these children will grow up in poverty with no hope for a better future. VSO wants to challenge this. Our need for education professionals has never been greater. And if you're a qualified and experienced teacher, you can help.

We need education professionals now

Effective teachers are in very short supply in developing countries. That's one of the reasons why children aren't getting access to the education they deserve. We urgently need experienced education professionals from a wide range of backgrounds.

It's not just their lives you'll change

You could be training teachers in areas such as curriculum development and teaching methodology. While you develop the skills of your colleagues by sharing your knowledge and experience, you'll build your own professional confidence to an extent you may never have thought possible.

You'll have heard countless times that by supporting international development charities, you can change lives.

This time it's true.
