This chapter examines what happened to the newly qualified teachers after training. The study used cohort 1 students as they were the only cohort who had completed the programme at the time of the our fieldwork. The new teachers had been teaching for six months in different schools. The sample came from five districts, three in the Southern Region and two in the Central Region. The selection of the students was opportunistic in the sense that PEAs had to locate students available in their zones to take part in the study.
