Ejisu (Ash), Oct 31, GNA – Madam Animah Achiaa, Ejisu Municipal Director of Education has charged teachers in the area to take advantage of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training programme being implemented by the government.
This would help equip them adequately to improve classroom outcomes.
She said the CPD had been introduced as one of the strategies to ensure the successful implementation of the new standard-based curriculum, which had been introduced at the kindergarten and the primary school levels.
It was also to improve teaching and learning outcomes in schools and also help improve the image of the teaching profession at the basic education level.

It was attended by 663 basic school teachers at all the circuit centres in the Municipality.
