Much of your success will depend on you winning support from colleagues, schools and other influential individuals and organisations. You, therefore, must be able to express yourself persuasively in speech and writing, with the authority of impressive experience. A background of working in Education or Sports Development is essential, your background should encompass providing development support to schools and implementing national educational programmes at a regional level.
