NEW DELHI: With a view to help Afghanistan strengthen its elementary education system, the National Council of Educational Research and Training has organised a 40-day-long training-cum-workshop programme for academicians from the war-torn country.
The 40-member Afghani delegation headed by Seddiq Weera, a senior policy advisor in Afghanistan's Ministry of Education comprises teacher educators and academics, who are involved in school and teacher education there.
The ongoing training programme applies a multi-method approach that includes lectures, group-discussion and group-work, a council official said.
"Field visits to teacher education institutions working in the field of elementary education, District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and schools in Delhi as well as two Regional Institutes of Education (RIE) in Ajmer and Mysore will help them give experience at the field level," he said.
On their decision to seek India's help to upgrade the level of their school education, Weera said India is known for its high quality of education. Also, India has a rich cultural heritage and both the countries have so many socio-cultural commonalities. India has been contributing a lot in the reconstruction and rebuilding of our country, he added.
The Minister noted that during the last two years, India has provided 1000 scholarships to Afghan students.
