DHAKA, Oct 9, 2023 (BSS) - As many as 4.20 lakh secondary level teachers of 
high schools, madrasahs and technical education centres across the country 
will get training in two phases to enhance their competence and skills on new 
education curriculum.

As part of the initiative, training programme for trainers began today at 
district level while trainers in all upazilas will get training across the 
month to impart training to the teachers next, said NCTB member Prof Md 
Mashiuzzaman told BSS.

He said training programme for teachers will be held between December 1 and 7 
in first phases while second phase will be held from December 8 to 14.

The training programme will be carried out through Dissemination of New 
Curriculum Scheme to disseminate the teachers about the massive changes 
brought in the new curriculum for pre-primary to high secondary level 
students, Mashiuzzaman said.

He said framework of the curriculum got the prime minister's approval on May 
2021.

Continuous evaluation of students gets importance in the new curriculum 
instead of traditional system of examinations as students up to Class III 
won't have to appear examination and their evaluation will be carried out on 
the basis of different learning programme, said the chairman of National 
Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB).

But students of upper classes will have continuous learning evaluation as 
well as examinations, he said.

According to NCTB, three master trainers on each subject will be created in 
every district while they will impart training to three teachers on each 
subject in each upazila.
