Angola | Rural Family Schools: A New Pathway for Education and Rural Development

Rural Family Schools (EFR) are becoming a reality in Angola! The first school is expected to open later this year in Quihita, Huíla Province.In partnership with the CRIIA Institute, Jardins da Yoba, and the Fondation Ondjyla, the first train-the-trainer programmes in the Dual/Alternance Education Methodology are already underway, preparing teachers to implement this new educational model.The Alternance Education Model brings schools closer to families, communities, and the world of work, combining classroom learning with practical experience while recognising local knowledge and realities.More than establishing schools, our goal is to empower young people to shape the future of their communities, fostering entrepreneurship, employability, and sustainable rural development.

FONDATION ONDJYLA

In an African language, Ondjyla is an expression that means “path”. Fondation Ondjyla is thoroughly engaged in helping young people building the path of their lives, making them the authors of their destiny.

The foundation is engaged with the promotion of knowledge, education, entrepreneurship and exchange, with a particular focus on African young people, contributing to the empowerment, sustainability and development of people and communities, especially children and those who are young.

Fondation Ondjyla believes that the access to an education focused on vocational training may have a strong impact on the living conditions of young people that are now preparing themselves for the labour market and their families. The foundation wishes also to provide to the different populations the tools and the option to develop an economic activity which will ensure them decent living conditions near the communities where they grew up and in which they are integrated.
