SOU Professor Boosts Education In Africa

USAID/Bryce Smedley
Bryce Smedley (L) works with teachers in Africa.

Education is not easy in the war-torn Central African Republic (CAR).  BBC News calls it "the country where teachers have disappeared." 

Southern Oregon University professor Bryce Smedley recently returned from a trip to CAR to assess educational needs and help train teachers. 

And the work doesn't end now that he's home... Smedley gets his education students at SOU involved with the teachers-in-training back in Africa.  Bryce Smedley visits the studio with an overview of his overseas work.
