Annual Reports

One of the key responsibilities of all Coordinators, Representatives and Contact Persons is to submit an Annual Report on iEARN activiites in your Center, Country or Region

On or about May 1, a request is sent to all Center Coordinators, Representatives and Contact Persons to submit an annual report by May 30.

The Report is designed as an internal iEARN document to report on activiites in the prior year so that others around the iEARN network can share accurate information on the program in each country.

Copies of earlier Annual Reports can be found at: www.iearn.org.au/international/reports.htm

The Annual Report is based on requested information. The questions may vary from year to year. Below are the questions from 2006:
