The Swallow
Centre for Emancipating Education
The Swallow is a center for emancipating education in The Gambia
The Swallow, Centre of Emancipating Education, is established in 2002 in The Gambia, West-Africa. The Swallow is a legal association, registered as a local non-profit organisation.
The Swallow wants to be a meeting place and a source of inspiration for the renewal of education in The Gambia.
The main activity is a nursery and primary school, where other activities are related to: the integration of health education, youth work on food security & health and research about a different pedagogical approach.
Materials for Learning
Many educational materials in local languages are often out of date. We work with school leaders and publishers to ensure that students have access to current textbooks that are age appropriate and written in their primary language.
Continuing Education for Teachers
We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities. From training on the latest technology to new pedagogical methods, we help teachers make their classrooms engaging and successful.
Support for Communities
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
“With the support from Lusaka, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
— Alonzo F., School Principal
