The establishment and operation of this Teacher Training College is based on a memorandum of understanding signed with the Ministry of National Education. Until now more than 243 teachers have graduated, most of them contracted by the Ministry of National Education to work in public schools.
The ADPP-GB Teacher Training College in Cacheu aims to increase the number of highly qualified primary school teachers, especially in rural areas, using a three-year teaching programme.
The Teacher Training College in Cacheu programme is engaged in the big issues of our time and the students use this engagement to train attitudes and skills to become excellent teachers for the children of the 21st Century. They are trained to be committed and work in rural areas where the lack of teachers is highest and with child-centered teaching. In addition to primary school teachers, they are trained to become community development agents, committed to promoting better living conditions for people in the communities where they will work.
At the ADPP-GB Teacher Training College in Cacheu 88 students are now training to become teachers.
At the ADPP-GB Teacher Training College the preschool, which started in 2017, continued its action with parents educators assisted by students from the College so that they can guarantee a transition of children to primary education.
