Campus Solutions Programme seeks Student Journalists in West Africa for Reporting Project (Paid)

The Campus Solutions Programme is searching for student journalists to write articles about good deviants in West African education systems.

Campus Solutions Programme

This reporting project will employ fifteen (15) campus journalists for six months to capture, via narrative, societal responses to challenges plaguing West Africa’s education system and other connected topics with proof.
