Last modified on 12 September 2018. Posted in Teacher Training (EPF)

Teacher Training School Luanda began its activities in the year 2000 as part of an agreement between the Ministry of Education and ADPP Angola. The school became a reality thanks to financing from the national oil company Sonangol and all its operating partners. The first team began in October 2000. As of January 2018, 1,007 students have graduated from Teacher Training School Luanda.

Impact

Teacher Training School Luanda has an important impact on the teaching of primary pupils, both in the province of Luanda itself as well in other provinces. 2nd Year students assist and teach at local primary schools, and 3rd Year students spend a full academic year, often in remote rural schools, teaching and acting as community developers. Without their presence, overcrowded classrooms would result in many more children failing to reach their potential. Local and rural communities also benefit from the actions and activities undertaken by Teacher Training School Luanda and its students, whether as micro projects to help improve conditions in villages, or health, cleaning, educational and sporting activities in the around the school itself.
