Matching schools in developing countries with twin schools in developed countries could help to finance housing projects. |

According to the [http://portal.unesco.org/education/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49591&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html EFA Global Monitoring Report 2007 Summary] "good housing for teachers with running water and electricity is probably the most cost-effective way to attract and retain teachers in rural schools". |

A model could be a cooperation between both schools' parents' societies where the parents from the developed country financed a guest house for the school in the developing country.

In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse Hesse] the program [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterrichtsgarantie Unterrichtsgarantie Plus] {{ref|tuition_guaranty_plus}} might, for example, provide necessary funding to allow a school to hire a (trainee) teacher from a developing country as a foreign language assistant, who could visit Germany and learn (e.g.) the German language for a year and then return to his or her own country and might have earned enough to stay several years at the partner school without a salary from the local government, before, possibly, visiting again. A chance for early enrollment into such a program could provide an incentive for students to decide to become teachers. |
