Teacher Retention Program at Rize School, Zambia
Rize School in Zambia faced a serious challenge retaining qualified teachers, as many were leaving for higher-paying government positions. Seeking a sustainable solution, the school applied for a grant from Smart$uccess. After an in-depth evaluation and multiple brainstorming sessions, Smart$uccess developed the Teacher Retention Credit program, an innovative system that incentivizes teachers based on performance and tenure through a stacked incentive model.
In its first year, the program led to a 50% increase in teacher retention, ensuring greater stability and continuity for students. Inspired by these results, Rize School is now working with Smart$uccess to scale the initiative further and sustain long-term success.
“Smart$uccess’s innovative economic approach has redefined how we support and retain our teachers. With this program, we’ve not only stabilized our teaching staff but also fostered a sense of purpose and growth within our school community. We are truly grateful for this partnership and look forward to scaling this initiative to create lasting impact for our teachers and students.” – Neboth, Founder of Rize School
