From September 16th to November 10th, 799 second year students and 71 teachers from the 15 ADPP Teaching Schools are undertaking the “Learn to Travel, Travel to Learn” period of their teacher training program.

For eight weeks, participants will travel by bus through 14 of the country's 18 provinces, namely, Bengo, Benguela, Bié, Cuanza Sul, Cabinda, Cuando Cubango, Cuanza Norte, Cunene, Huambo, Lunda Sul, Luanda, Malange, Uíge and Zaire.

This is a transformative initiative that positively impacts young students. By promoting education, cultural exchange and personal development, the program not only enriches the lives of participants, but also strengthens communities, contributing to cohesion and sustainability.

Activities will be carried out such as visits to primary schools, museums, historical monuments, the business sector, local and traditional authorities, among others, where they will learn about geography, biology, geology, sociology, communication, etc.

The concept “Learn to Travel, Travel to Learn” takes on a new dimension with the use of e-books during the travel. These contain educational materials that allow students to continue their theoretical studies as they learn in practice.

ADPP – Angola has been implementing the study travel period for over 10 years. Between 2013 and 2014, for 16 weeks, more than a thousand students travelled to seven countries in Southern Africa, including Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. From 2015, the travel has taken place domestically in Angola.  

ADPP Teacher Training Schools offer a four-year pre-service program, preparing young people to become primary school teachers, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education.

For over 25 years, the 15 ADPP Teacher Training Schools, located across 14 provinces, have been shaping "Teachers of the Future." 15,825 teachers have graduated to date, including 5,318 women, representing 34% of the total.
