IIT experts to give lessons in teaching to UP teachers
Experts from IIT-Gandhinagar in Gujarat will give lessons to improve teaching at government-run secondary schools of Uttar Pradesh, especially in subjects like science and mathematics.
Prayagraj: Experts from IIT-Gandhinagar in Gujarat will give lessons to improve teaching at government-run secondary schools of Uttar Pradesh, especially in subjects like science and mathematics.
In a first-of-its-kind initiative by the state secondary education department, 169 assistant teachers and lecturers of government high schools and intermediate colleges have been selected to undergo a five-day residential training programme at the prestigious institution, said officials.
Around 111 teachers from 46 districts of the state who teach science to high school students and physics, chemistry and biology to intermediate students would undergo the residential training at IIT-Gandhinagar in Gujarat from June 5 to 9.
Likewise, training of 58 teachers of mathematics is proposed to be held at the institute from June 24 to 28.
The cost incurred by teachers in going for the training being held at government expense will be reimbursed to them by the respective district inspectors of schools (DIOSes).
Teachers have been asked to take laptops with them so that information can be given about classroom teaching and the use of digital material as well during the training sessions.
Director General (school education), Uttar Pradesh, Kanchan Verma, has directed all DIOS to relieve the selected teachers from work.
She has also instructed DIOS to ensure that the selected teachers reach IIT-Gandhinagar a day before the formal start of their training workshops. Five teachers from Prayagraj will also be going to Gujarat for the training.
