Trainings are a priority In 2009, to improve the standard of teaching and schools, the government commenced an ambitious project, the Programme of Assistance to Primary Education (PAEP), to train teachers across the country in modern teaching methods.
It's very intensive: we have weeklong trainings with teachers in the summers as well as enrichment activities and follow-up with museum staff conducted online.
They sell new standardized tests, new test prep materials, new Common Core books, trainings for teachers, materials, etc.
We need more trainings for teachers to understand how to analyze curriculum and instruct it and facilitate it in a way where it's actually connecting to their students.
Teacher training in digital tools will need to keep apace with these other forms of support, and groups like Code.org, a nonprofit founded in 2013, offer technology trainings to teachers and their students.
The in-school program will start up again in the fall at two middle schools and one high school, and will include a social justice class, support groups for families, and trainings for teachers on how to effectively intervene in situations involving LGBTQ youth.
UNICEF also sponsors and organizes periodic trainings for teachers.
UNICEF has supported MOE in these efforts through the implementation of AL in-service trainings for teachers across the country.
Lack of funds to conduct trainings, cover teachers' allowances and to facilitate support supervision were deemed responsible for this state of affairs.
UNICEF has supported trainings for teachers and coaches in standard and special schools, aiming to facilitate sports activities so that mixed ability groups of boys and girls can compete in volleyball and football.
