One of the issues that adds difficulties to a village receiving trained and effective teachers is being able to retain them. In many cases, when the government assigns teachers to rural areas, it falls upon the teachers to make housing arrangements. Where teachers cannot live near the school, they are likely to spend a lot of time traveling, often to the detriment of their school work. Most teachers will request transfers out of these areas leaving schools without trained teachers. Once trained teachers leave, the villagers resort to untrained and not as well educated individuals teaching. BYAW seeing such a need in the village of Ferekoroba has offered to build a 3-room housing for the teachers/headmaster of the Building Youth Around the World Academy of Ferekoroba.
