Aquinoe Learning Centre runs a Diploma course in Special Needs Education for qualified teachers who want to extend their knowledge and skills of children with disabilities and how to include them in mainstream education.
Teachers from around the country spend a couple of weeks three times a year in their holidays attending lectures at Aquinoe and are also expected to write assignments during term time throughout the two year course.
The students have been at Aquinoe since the beginning of December and have just left so that they can have their own Christmas break.
All staff have now broken up for the holidays and gone home, apart from Mama Leah, who stays to look after two of the orphans.
