In August 2006 the first 86 teachers of the future began their training. As part of their 3rd period of education “We Continue Building Our School” in February 2007 the students planted 600 trees on the school grounds and established 3 sports fields. The school has also started providing capacity building courses as in-service training for teachers who have not undertaken formal teacher training. 27 primary schools teachers, nominated by local authorities, participated in the courses each Friday for 40 weeks.
In 2008 EPF Bié carried out a pilot project enrolling students who had completed the new 9th grade after the educational reform. 17 students completed a 6 month preparation period which was closely monitored and subsequently approved by the Ministry of Education. The students then continued their studies as part of the August 2008 team. EPF Bié operates two Pedagogical Workshops providing in-service training, supervision in education preparation and community activities.
