Schools have responded very positively to the previous phases of the programme. The Education Assistants support teachers with administrative tasks, classroom management, sport coaching and cultural activities, while the General Assistants help with maintenance, cleaning, vegetable gardens, and general administration.

The assistants have also expressed their appreciation for the opportunity, with some now interested or pursuing in a career in education as a result.
