| projects & activities Bhutanese Teacher Training At Loreto School, Sealdah In November 2007 ten primary school teachers from the UN-administered camps for Bhutanese refugees in Eastern Nepal travelled to Kolkota to attend a unique 15-day teacher training programme organized and funded by the South Asia Children’s Fund at the Sealdah Teacher Training Institute, an initiative of Loreto School, Sealdah. The Sealdah Teacher Training Institute is recognized as one of the finest programmes of its kind in West Bengal, and introduces educators to the latest methods of instruction. Courses are offered for as short as two days, with an emphasis on practical skills that can be immediately incorporated into the classroom. The Sealdah Teacher Training Institute plays a key role in promoting the rights of children, challenging caste and gender discrimination, and championing the role of the teacher as the protector and mentor for children. |
