RTI International recruits 01 Administration Officer
Position Summary
RTI’s International Education division operates with the goal of supporting systemic change to improve learning outcomes. We use evidence-based approaches to strengthen education policy, management, and practice at every level—from classrooms to national ministries—to achieve measurable improvement in education quality.
RTI’s International Education division was just awarded a 5-year, $55M cooperative agreement from USAID/Senegal to improve girls’ and boys’ reading outcomes in kindergarten through second grade by increasing the capacity of the Senegalese education system through institutional support and targeted assistance in nine regions of Senegal. RELIS will work with Senegal’s Ministry of Education to expand bilingual reading instruction to three new local languages—Maninke, Soninke and Diola—through materials development, teacher training, building publisher capacity and strengthening education system management more broadly. The project will have approximately 65 staff based in Dakar and in the regions.
