We are working hard on our new Regional Training School. This school will bring together the best of the existing partnerships AONHW and ROWF starting from school year 2026-2027. The training school will be a partnership of intermediate and secondary schools in our region and teacher training colleges and will train students to become teachers. Students will do their internships at one of the schools and receive intensive workplace supervision. The partnership focuses on training in school<\/em>which focuses on practice and is linked to research and educational development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWant to know more?
