Formation des Enseignants en Afrique Sub-Saharienne

TESSA is a research and development initiative creating open educational resources (OERs) and course design guidance for teachers and teacher educators working in Sub-Saharan African countries.

"Perhaps the most successful of all the OER projects we have heard about"
Sir John Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Commonwealth of Learning

"The TESSA website …one of Africa’s most extensive multilingual websites for open education resources"
Professor Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, Executive Chair, TESSA and former Vice Chancellor, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana

TESSA has produced a large bank of materials directly aimed at enhancing and improving access to, and the quality of, local school based education and training for teachers. These materials (including audio and other media) are modular in format. They focus on classroom practice in the key areas of literacy, numeracy, science, social studies and the arts and life skills. All the materials are available through this website in a variety of different formats and languages.

"The TESSA materials are easily located in the environment around us without having to travel long distances at high cost"
