Training for teachers in new system

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With a view to train college teachers in the intricacies of the choice-based credit and semester system newly introduced for degree courses, the University of Kerala is organising a month-long training programme at its Academic Staff College (ASC).

The first of the training classes for Mathematics, Malayalam and Commerce will be held there on July 26. Teachers who are intimately familiar with the new system will lead the sessions in which two teachers from a college will participate. These two teachers will train others in their departments.

�We are initiating this programme so that the new system for degree courses will operate smoothly, pro-vice chancellor of the University J. Prabhash told The Hindu on Thursday.
