Silafaga Lalua


Primary school teachers are being trained to be able to train other teachers in the country, at a teacher competency module SPBEA and UNESCO workshop.

Director of Education Katalina Taloka told Tuvalu news that Anaseini Raivoce, Director of the South Pacific Board of Education Assessment in Fiji, is conducting the workshop that is to end tomorrow.

Taloka says the workshop will look at the teacher competency book that contains the six modules that aim at the professional development of teachers, the servicing of teachers, assessment and classroom management and others.

Also included in the modules is the professional development of untrained teachers that will lead to their being certified to teach.

The four day workshop began last Friday and will end tomorrow, and targets education department staff and some teachers from Nauti Primary School.

Tuvalu news learnt that participants of this workshop will train teachers from other primary schools when nationwide workshops are run during school holidays.
