TEACHER RETRAINING IMPORTANT HAYE
*****
TEACHERS NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL FROM TIME TO TIME TO
BE RETRAINED, NOT ONLY TO LEARN AFRESH BUT TO RE-CHARGE THE IR BATTERIES AND BE UPDATED, THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR COLVYN HAYE, SAID TODAY (FRIDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE GRADUATION CEREMONY OF THE FOURTH RETRAINING COURSE OF THE INSTITUTE OF LANGUAGE IN EDUCATION (ILE), MR HAYE STRESSED RETRAINING WAS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY FOR LANGUAGE TEACHERS.
+WITH THE HELP OF LANGUAGE TEACHERS, CHILDREN LEARN TO READ, WRITE AND SPEAK BETTER AND SO BECOME EDUCATED.
+THAT'S WHY LANGUAGE -- AND ONLY LANGUAGE --CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR TO LEARNING. AND OUR EDUCATION IS ONLY AS GOOD AS TEACHERS CAN MAKE IT, HE SAID.
TEACHERS NEEDED TO BE +PROFESSIONALLY UPDATED+ AS MUCH HAD CHANGED SINCE THEY WERE FIRST QUALIFIED FOR TEACHING IN SCHOOLS, .MR HAYE SAID.
HE ADDED THAT RETRAINING DID NOT MEAN THROWING PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AWAY, BUT RATHER TO ENABLE TEACHERS TO LEARN NEW APPROACHES SO THAT THEY COULD RE-PRESENT THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS.
