Education II Project

Angola

Angola has placed a high priority on meeting its educational needs, particularly along its western coast where some four million displaced people have sought refuge. Schools in this region are overcrowded and in poor condition. The project will target four of the most seriously affected provinces, namely, Luanda, Kwanza Sul, Benguela and Namibe. Works will include:

• construction of 244 primary school classrooms and the rehabilitation of 122 existing ones;
• refurbishment and equipping of the Skills Training Centre in Luanda, which provides technical and vocational training and adult literacy programs;
• equipping of all schools;
• provision of learning materials to some 30,000 students; and
• implementation of capacity building measures among teachers, school directors and other personnel.
