Gurgaon: The education department on Thursday restarted the second phase of the teachers’ training programme for the state-run Model Sanskriti Schools, which was stopped abruptly earlier this month amid the uncertainty over school reopening.
The department has signed an MoU with a private education technology company, Globus Infocom, to impart digital skills to the teachers and ensure the optimal use of digital devices installed at the schools.
While the first phase was completed earlier this month, Omicron concerns and a few other administrative reasons delayed the second, according to the department. Later, from January, the third phase will start. “In this phase, we will cover nearly 52 schools in eight districts, including Hisar, Jind, Bhiwani, Karnal, Kurukshetra. Over 600 teachers will be trained in this phase. Then the third phase will begin in January and last four weeks. If the schools don’t have to close again due to the Omicron surge, we’ll conclude that by the end of January,” said an education department official.
In the first phase, nearly 900 teachers from at least 137 schools across Haryana were trained in batches of 40. “The training sessions by experts from Globus Infocom were useful in making the most of digital tools such as digital boards and laboratories,” said Asha Miglani, principal, Model Sanskriti School, Sushant Lok.
Globus Infocom CEO Kiran Dham, said, “Digital education has become the pressing need of the times, and the government’s proactive steps to train teachers to adapt to that change is encouraging.”
