As part of the Improving the Quality of Education in Rural Angola project, Class 4A of Complexo Escolar No. 39 in Kitexe, Uíge province, marked International Children’s Day with a special event that brought together students, teachers, and parents.
The celebration gathered seven teachers — including the school director and deputy — along with 27 parents and guardians and 70 students for a joyful moment of sharing. The children showcased their progress in Portuguese through reading and writing competitions, word and syllable games, and a theatrical performance that highlighted the vital role families play in their children’s education.
The event reflected the project’s ongoing commitment to delivering quality education through strong community engagement.
This project is funded by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA and implemented by ADPP Angola in partnership with the Ministry of Education.
On February 17, 2025, a cholera prevention awareness session was held at Primary School No. 1 in the town of Mucaba, Uíge Province. The session was part of the school’s ongoing health education efforts for the academic year, aimed at increasing awareness and protection against communicable diseases.
A total of 91 participants took part in the session, including 86 students and 5 teachers. Among the students, 60 were girls and 26 were boys, highlighting the strong engagement of female pupils in the activity.
The session covered key topics such as how cholera is transmitted, personal and environmental hygiene measures, and the importance of drinking safe water. The goal was to equip students with practical knowledge they can apply in daily life to help prevent illness.
Given the current cholera outbreak in the country, it is especially important that children not only understand these health messages but also share them with their families, contributing to broader community health and safety.

ADPP’s Teacher Training Schools in Cuanza Norte and Uíge have launched a new phase in teacher education with the official start of a class focused on E-learning and Educational Technology. Introduced in April 2025, the initiative involves 58 trainee teachers and aims to equip them to use digital tools in teaching and learning, even in settings with limited infrastructure.
The training covers basic computer concepts—such as the history of computers and key hardware and software components—as well as the use of practical applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and online platforms like Google Classroom and Google Meet.
At the launch session, facilitators emphasised that the course was designed for low-resource environments, showing how even simple technologies can help make learning more interactive and learner-focused.
This new component reinforces ADPP’s commitment to inclusive, forward-looking education by preparing teachers to use ICT in their classrooms and meet the needs of the communities where they will work.
