Grant Description

PAS Kabul invites all eligible Afghan organizations to submit a proposal for English Language Training for three specific Ministry of Border & Tribal Affairs (MOBTA) schools in the Kabul area. A successful proposal will include solutions to enhance the English language proficiency of students and teachers in the three MOBTA schools in Kabul, Afghanistan. This project will build the capacity of as many as 1,000 students by providing intensive English language training for upper division (junior and senior) students who may be selected as candidates for international undergraduate scholarships available to Afghanistan from various donor countries. Candidates are 12th grade high school students. The project will enhance their English language knowledge to improve their ability to qualify for scholarships and fellowships opportunities outside Afghanistan. The project will also work with the current English teachers of the three MOBTA schools who will teach the students after the end of this project and thus promote sustainability of the projectуs outcomes. This one year project will mainly focus on teaching English language to the target group of students and enable them to enhance their English language proficiency to a high-intermediate to advanced level. As many as 200 of the candidates will also be trained on TOEFL and/or IELTS test preparation.
