The Achiya Teacher Training College – new branch to be opened in Zefat.

Municipal officials in Rechovot and Zefat have approached Achiya’s College director, Yakov Albirt, asking him to open Achiya branches in their cities. “There is no doubt that Achiya’s campaign in the past year, advocating for training teachers, has made its mark. More and more principals accept the fact that trained teachers, graduates of the Achiya College,  are essential for the welfare of their pupils.” says Yakov Albirt.

“Today,  teaching has become a  respected vocation for many young men in the orthodox population, allowing them to work within the orthodox community and contribute to its welfare, while bringing home a substantial income that allows them to support their families.”

The new branches will be opened in January 2011 and will be one of the 10 branches situated throughout Israel.
