More satellite centres for training hinterland teachers

Mar 12, 2016 News

Additional satellite centres will be established this year to increase the number of trained teachers in the hinterland and riverain areas. Training centres will be set up at Kwakwani, Region Ten; Kamarang, Region Seven; Moraikobai, Region Five and Charity, Region Two.
The establishment of the centres, catered for in budget 2016, will bring the total number to 17. The creation of these institutions has enabled teachers to access training right in their region. Another spin-off benefit from this initiative is that after training, the teachers are able to serve their own regions.
The Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), the premier institution for training teachers, has satellite training centres in eight of the 10 Administrative Regions. Student teachers are benefitting from training at the centres in Region One, at Port Kaituma, Moruca and Mabaruma; in Region Eight at Mahdia, and Region Nine, at Annai, Aishalton and Lethem.
The CPCE will as well make the necessary interventions to expand the Trained Teachers’ Certificate programme to Kato, and Parakamatoi in Region Eight.
Meanwhile 415 new teachers will be trained and deployed into the education system this year. Last year, the CPCE had its largest intake—approximately 751 trainees.
