Understand the limits of what schools, & teachers can do

• Schools must be functional & delivering on community expectations

• Respect the rest of the school calendar, curriculum, exam schedules, etc

• Trainers, teachers & schools are products of the society you are aiming to change

  • Address their knowledge, beliefs, concerns during training
  • They can lead others forward one step at a time, as long as they are one step ahead

• Interventions produce demands

  • Need to link to other services (e.g. VCT, STI treatment, condom supplies)
  • Schools cannot provide follow-up, intensive one-on-one guidance & support
