The Institute of Education (IoE) in collaboration with the Transforming Teacher Education and Learning (T-TEL) has organised a workshop for Coordinators of Supported Teaching in the various Colleges of Education in Ghana on “Field Experience in Schools”.

The training was to equip the coordinators to effectively supervise teacher-trainees in the Colleges for field activities previously known as teaching practice. From the 2018/2019 academic year, Colleges of Education would begin a four-year Bachelor of Basic Education programme, hence the need to expose the coordinators to the new curriculum as far as field experience was concerned.

The Dean of the Faculty of Educational Foundations, UCC,  Prof. Eric Nyarko-Sampson, has called on Government to provide the needed financial and logistical support for the effective implementation of the Double Track System.

Prof. Nyarko-Simpson said the challenges of the implementation of the Free Senior High School in 2017 should serve as a lesson to Government. “We want to see that the infrastructural challenge facing senior high schools does not rear its head again because that is the reason why the Double Track System has been introduced,” he advised.
