The 15 ADPP Teacher Training schools, located across 14 provinces of Angola, celebrated this month the graduation of the teams that began their studies in 2021.

The teacher training program lasts four years in a boarding school system, with the final year dedicated to a practicum in rural primary schools. The model combines theory with practice, preparing committed and innovative professionals equipped to face the challenges of teaching in local communities. Throughout their training, students deepen their knowledge of primary school subjects while developing essential skills for both the classroom and life.

This year, 694 new teachers have completed their training for rural primary education, 40% of whom are women. These educators will strengthen the quality of education in rural areas of the country, contributing to ensuring that more children have access to inclusive and quality education.

In 2025, we celebrate 30 years of training primary school teachers in our colleges, with a total of 16,519 teachers graduated since 1995. Many graduates join the Graduated Teachers’ Network, continuing their collaboration after completing their studies. These resilient educators overcome resource challenges, innovate with local materials, and work closely with parents to improve education in hard-to-reach communities.
