Teacher’s Training


Ida Rieu believes that teachers play a crucial role especially in the development of special children. Therefore, teachers are provided with continuous training and development opportunities to equip them with the current teaching skills. All teachers have to undergo regular training in their respective fields.  This training leads to greater command and confidence in Ida Rieu’s teachers.
