4.20 lakh high school 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.
