A two-day workshop on capacity building for teachers in the Kintampo South District of Brong-Ahafo has ended with advice to teachers to be cautious and conscious in the management of their time for their students to derive maximum benefit from them.
Mr. David Saborg-Moore, the District Coordinating Director, told the teachers: "Time must be used judiciously because that is one of the most precious resources that man can use to improve his or her livelihood."
About 200 participants attended the workshop, organized by the District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service and sponsored by the DFID, at the district capital, Jema.
It was to equip them with modern methods and skills of teaching and learning at the basic educational level.
Mr. Enoch Osei Sarfo, the District Director of Education, urged teachers, especially those at the Kindergarten level, to take proper care of the children by providing them with nutritious diets.
This would ensure the development of their minds to acquire reading and writing skills that are very necessary at that stage of the educational ladder, he explained.
Mr. Peter Hammond Yeboah, Kintampo South District Training Officer of the GES, advised them to update their knowledge and skills regularly to cope with the demands of the current educational reform programme.
