Education is one of the pillars of society, and the spreading of information is key to understanding. However, teaching is one thing, and learning is quite another. ADPP has long recognized the importance of learning, of placing students and participants of all kinds at the centre, and finding ways of encouraging and motivating, of developing a desire to investigate and discover, to seek answers and solutions, and to become life-long learners.

ADPP Teacher Training Schools produce highly capable primary school teachers and community leaders, ADPP Polytechnics equip young people with relevant academic, personal and technical skills and Frontline Institute, trains future project leaders. Literacy is a constant at ADPP projects: at Farmers’ Clubs, Female Entrepreneur programmes, emergency programmes as in Lóvua refugee settlement, or in broader integrated development projects. Vocational training is also a common thread in ADPP’s work, whether specific courses such as tailoring at Women in Action projects or supplementary skills for farmers at Calandula Agricultural Centre.
