4.20 lakh teachers to get training on new curriculum

As many as 4.20 lakh secondary level teachers of  high schools, madrasahs and technical education centres across the country  will get training in two phases to enhance their competence and skills on new  education curriculum.

As part of the initiative, training programme for trainers began today at  district level while trainers in all upazilas will get training across the  month to impart training to the teachers next, said NCTB member Prof Md  Mashiuzzaman told BSS.

He said training programme for teachers will be held between December 1 and 7  in first phases while second phase will be held from December 8 to 14.

The training programme will be carried out through Dissemination of New  Curriculum Scheme to disseminate the teachers about the massive changes  brought in the new curriculum for pre-primary to high secondary level  students, Mashiuzzaman said.

He said framework of the curriculum got the prime minister's approval on May  2021.

Continuous evaluation of students gets importance in the new curriculum  instead of traditional system of examinations as students up to Class III  won't have to appear examination and their evaluation will be carried out on  the basis of different learning programme, said the chairman of National  Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB).

But students of upper classes will have continuous learning evaluation as  well as examinations, he said.

According to NCTB, three master trainers on each subject will be created in  every district while they will impart training to three teachers on each  subject in each upazila, reports UNB.
