Not applicable.so that each school trains one head teacher, three teachers, and one communityrepresentative for five days (six nights’ accommodation).• A team of three (one head teacher, one teacher, and one communityrepresentative) should be trained first, with additional teachers trainedone semester later in workshops created entirely for teachers.• Five church leaders from the three dominant churches plus two localchurches should be invited to each workshop.• Some schools should be invited to send four Standard 6 or 7 students,along with one teacher, to attend four days’ (accommodation five nights)training. The number of schools sending peer supporters will depend onfunding and timing as adults need to be trained first to create a suitableand supportive environment for student peer supporters.Making these changes is projected to raise the cost of the teaching programto $3.18 per student and reduce the cost of peer support to $5.79 perstudent (table 6.4).Lessons LearnedThe PSABH program encountered a wide range of challenges and haslearned many lessons. The lessons described here are based on interviewswith program managers and implementers.Dealing with TurnoverTurnover among teachers and peer educators was high: 22 percent ofschools lost trained teachers to transfer or death during an 18-monthperiod. Replacing graduating peer supporters presented enormous difficulties.As a result, the program decided not to continue primary-level peersupport in order to maximize sustainability.(c) The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank
