In the
framework of the Open Schools Days, the Royal Technical School at
Saffraanberg opened its doors for the large public on 13 March 2005. The
main aim of the Open Schools Days is to familiarize young people with the
different teaching institutes of the Ministry of Defence. These days offer
an excellent opportunity to meet pupils or students of the present school
year and exchange ideas, to get acquainted with a military educational
environment and to learn more about the didactic equipment of these
specialised schools.
