Teacher education in the face of challenges posed by HIV and AIDS

This paper was presented at the Distance Education and Teacher's Training in Africa (DETA) 2009 Conference, August 2009, Ghana. Many teachers are confronted with large numbers of learners made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS. Often-times, these learners need much more than just pedagogical interventions. Most require additional support to cope with discrimination, abuse, rejection and lost childhoods, as they begin to assume the responsibilities of their deceased parents at an ever-increasing younger age
