RATA commits to caring for all those people it engages with, as people matter most.
RATA will be transparent in its activities and act with integrity that is open to be tested.
RATA will never be a financial burden on a host school.
RATA will be flexible, adaptable and realistic.
RATA will only use qualified teachers for instruction.
RATA will only go to schools where the teachers are predominately untrained.
RATA is a not for profit organisation based on Christian principles.
RATA will commit to minimum 5 years at a host school.
RATA trips will be organised and managed by a person not involved in facilitating professional development, to allow teachers to fully focus on teaching the teachers to teach.
