Training programme for teachers

KOCHI: A training programme in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) applications for schoolteachers, organised jointly by the Atomic Energy Education Society (AEES) and the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) began here on Sunday.

The first batch of thirty teachers from the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh from different AEES schools are taking part in the programme that will be on for seven days, up to December 22.

Knowledge is empowerment and the call is to empower the children of the country, said Atomic Energy Education Society chairman C.V. Ananda Bose in his inaugural remarks at the training programme.

“India has rediscovered itself over the last four decades as the status of scientists and professors from the country has gone up,” he said. Earlier, the learned society used to visit the universities abroad for getting trained. Now we go there to train them, he added.

IGNOU Vice-Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai presided over the function.
