The broad aim of the research project was
‘to contribute to strategies to improve teaching and
learning in post-conflict contexts’. This bjective was to be
met through the study of remote villages in one area of Angola,
which was representative of the fall-out from the years of conflict
across the country. The area chosen was the five Communes of
Caimbambo that are located in the middle of the Province of
Benguela.
This publication is aimed at
headteachers [sometimes called School Director or Principal] in
developing countries, particularly postconflict countries and
fragile states, and draws on the experience of our School Change
programme in Angola1. It identifies some of the key factors that
can improve the effectiveness of a school even if it has few
resources.
