According to reports, 44 trainee teachers took part in the activity. After conducting the study individually, teachers laid out their teaching materials at the centre for display and to be assessed.
On Thursday, trainees at the Nursery level had their kit displayed and on Friday, Primary School trainees displayed theirs.
The Head Of the Centre said that the two-day activity was a successful one. She is satisfied with the presentations. “I am very pleased with what I saw over those two days. The presentations were really good”, stated Bourne.
The CPCE also offers a One-year Associate’s Degree in Education programme. These Associate Degree programmes were introduced in 2010.
