Training 'must' for primary teachers

 

All the primary school teachers will have to undergo training for teaching before 2015, otherwise their service may come into danger. In a bid to save the school teachers from termination of job the state education department adopted a plan to train all the teachers who are still not received proper teachers' training.

Chairperson of Cooch Behar District Primary School Council (DPSC), Kalyani Poddar said a workshop related to the training for teachers will be organised in Cooch Behar very soon. State Education minister, Bratya Basu would inaugurate the workshop. She said that the primary school teachers who not completed two-year training yet should receive the training specially arranged for them. Those teachers, who received only one-year training, they should have to undergo additional one-year training.

            The teachers' training on teaching method is a 'must' for all primary school teachers according to the Right to Education Act of 2009 following the norms laid down by the National Council for Teachers Training. But the erstwhile Left Front government kept it as a secret from the teachers, the DPSC chairperson alleged. Now, realising the problem that is going to be faced by the teachers in 2015 the new state government adopted a plan to train all the teachers to spread a security blanket over their jobs. In Cooch Behar, they already identified three educational institutions to run the training programme for the, she said. Poddar hoped that they will be able to complete the training programme before the stipulated date in 2015 and save the jobs of the teachers.
