Ejisu (Ash), Oct 31,
GNA – Madam Animah Achiaa, Ejisu Municipal Director of Education has charged
teachers in the area to take advantage of the Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) training programme being implemented by the government.
This would help
equip them adequately to improve classroom outcomes.
She said the CPD had
been introduced as one of the strategies to ensure the successful
implementation of the new standard-based curriculum, which had been introduced
at the kindergarten and the primary school levels.
It was also to
improve teaching and learning outcomes in schools and also help improve the
image of the teaching profession at the basic education level.
Madam Achiaa was
speaking at the opening of the CPD training programme organized by the Ghana
Education Service (GES) for primary and kindergarten teachers in the
Municipality.
It was attended by
663 basic school teachers at all the circuit centres in the Municipality.
Madam Achiaa said
the GES had formally adopted the CPD into its academic calendar to be held four
times in a year, to allow facilitators upgrade themselves with the requisite
knowledge and skills in the teaching profession.
She commended the
teachers in the municipality for their commitment towards the implementation of
the new standard curriculum and urged them to hold on to such spirit of
dedication and hard work.
The training covered
areas such as professional values and attitudes, professional knowledge and
professional practice.
