La’Angum Learning Center began the 2016-17 school year in September. Executive Director Alice Iddi-Gubbels provided a list of what she hoped to accomplish between now and July.
- Continued teacher training and support in Montessori education: Two 3-day workshops with Mr Eric Gumah from Bawku, Ghana.
- Continued support for two teachers to complete their North American Montessori Center/Faith Montessori Diploma course.
- Initiate a lending library for students.
- Follow up and support with our graduates who are junior high school students at Unity Junior High School in Langbinsi.
