GRÓ skólarnir störfuðu með nokkuð eðlilegum hætti þrátt fyrir heimsfaraldur

Öllum skólunum fjórum sem starfa á vegum GRÓ Þekkingarmiðstöð þróunarsamvinnu tókst að halda starfi sínu áfram á síðasta ári með nokkuð eðlilegum hætti og taka á móti nemendum í sex mánaða þjálfunarnámið, þrátt fyrir ýmsar áskoranir tengdar COVID-19 heimsfaraldrinum. Mikil röskun varð á starfinu árið 2020 og þurftu þrír skólanna þá að fresta komu nemenda um eitt ár. Þeir komust hingað loks í fyrra en þá sóttu 90 sérfræðingar frá þróunarlöndunum þjálfun við skólana fjóra hér á landi. Að auki var aftur hægt að standa fyrir námskeiðum á vettvangi.
