Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), in collaboration with the Norwegian government, is planning to conduct a training session for 400 school teachers.
A senior official of FDE told Pakistan Today that the training session would be started under Child Friendly Inclusive Training Programme, a joint venture of Norway and FDE. He said that FDE had completed all arrangements for kick-starting the training session aimed at promoting child-friendly environment in classrooms. The official said that Director General FDE had forwarded a summary to the Capital Administration and Development Division (CAAD) secretary for final approval and it was expected that CAAD would allow FDE to start training from December 1.
The training session would be held in two phases. In the first phase, the FDE would give training to the teachers who had been teaching in schools in urban areas and in the second phase the teachers of rural areas would be given training. The programme was a joint venture of the Norwegian government, under its child-friendly inclusive schooling project and the FDE. The teachers would be given training to promote national standards for child-friendly inclusive schooling through various methods.
