Teachers get Tvet in-service

TEACHERS from the Maino Heduru Catholic vocational centre received training and information on technical and vocational education training (Tvet inspections and curriculum during the teachers’ in-service last week.
The centre requested the Education Department’s Tvet division to conduct in-service training because there were new teachers who needed clarification in areas of Tvet inspections and curriculum.
The training was also a refresher for the long-serving teachers who have been teaching for more than 10 years and needed to update their methods and practices.
Officers from the Tvet inspections, quality assurance and Tvet curriculum divisions presented vital information on new curriculums and clarified issues teachers had about the role of Tvet inspectors.
The teachers were told that inspectors were there to encourage institutions to work towards achieving national, provincial and LLG goals and assist and guide teachers in their professional performances during the advisory and final inspection visits.
Inspectors also needed to ensure that all required data and other records kept are up to date and accurate, ensure that institution’s management plan was implemented for efficient utilisation of resources and that teachers were aware of the code of ethics and adhered to it.
Meanwhile, the Tvet curriculum division gave updated information on the new curriculum announced last month
The teachers were advised that Tvet institutions would be required to implement the directive, which meant that they had to deliver National Certificates (NC) 1-4 in their schools, provided they met the requirements.
