She added that this year the training program is focused on monitoring systems to enhance the quality and accountability of the program for which more trained teachers are required.

According to one participant, “Training means gaining knowledge from different sides. It does not matter what amount of knowledge one acquires, it always results in something better.” What the participant loved about the program was sharing her experience and knowledge with others through teamwork.

Another teacher who was also a trainee stated, “Training is a teaching process which encourages one to take new challenges to improve oneself."

With the rapid growth of technology and communication, fast changing teaching process and curriculum, training programs are indeed very helpful and thoughtful for teachers.” He liked the digital content development training the most.
