Headteachers could find themselves swapping their Lancashire classrooms for the wilds of Africa.
The Government has given a £100,000 boost to a pioneering project sending school leaders on mini 'gap-years' in Africa.
The extension to the International Extended Placements scheme, funded by the National College of School Leadership (NCSL), will place 14 headteachers, deputy or assistant heads for three months from January 2009, to teach and help run schools in Ghana, Nigeria, Namibia and Rwanda.
The scheme, run by international development charity VSO, strengthens heads and senior staff's professional skills, while improving the effectiveness of the African schools and the lives of the children there.
