Training of Primary School Teachers ended

6 days in-service training of primary school teachers of public schools in the Punjab ended. The training programme was arranged from 20th to 25th August 2007 by the Directorate of Staff Development, Lahore with the aim to enhance and update teaching methodologies of PSTs of the Province. Talking to the participants of the workshop at Govt.Boys High School Mandra, district Rawalpindi, it was told to the reporter that this training programme was a unique one in a sense that PSTs would be followed and supported regularly by their respective District Teacher Educator (DTE). The DTEs would bring professional development of PSTs on continuous basis. The participants of the course were satisfied over the arrangements of their training at Cluster Training & Support Center. A female primary school teacher, Fazeelat Bano, told our reporter that it was the first time during her 20 years service that PSTs were given due attention by the Education Department as regard to their professional training .She submitted that she learnt new ideas and teaching methods from her training programme and would use them in her class room for assessment of her students. The DTEs termed this training programme as a successful experience. However they were of the view that younger teachers were more keen and interested than older.
