Cambridge conducts training programme for school teachers

TRAINING: The University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) organised a training workshop for teachers and principals from various Sri Lankan schools to familiarise them with contemporary teaching practices and techniques.

The workshop brought together around 80 school teachers and principals and provided them with a forum for exchange of ideas and best practices.

CIE’s Regional Manager, South Asia William Bickerdike said “The ways and methods of imparting education have changed immensely with time. The teachers and institutions need to constantly enhance their skill set to keep pace with the changing environment.

This workshop serves as a catalyst in familiarising them with the current teaching methodologies.” He further added, “CIE through its support site for teachers provide information that is relevant and significant in upgrading their practices and techniques.”

The workshop began with an introductory presentation on CIE. The presentation highlighted curriculum overview, teaching support, student’s website and CIE qualifications such as Cambridge International primary Programme (CIPP), Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme (CLSP).

The attendees were introduced to the support site of CIE, especially designed for teachers.
