The Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (IEPA) has organised a training programme for first year M. Phil students who will be going on internship.

The programme dubbed “Executive Secretarial Practice’’ is a mandatory exercise for all M. Phil students of IEPA.

The decision to organise the event for prospective interns was based on reports from previous interns and an outcome of a tracer study that was undertaken by the Institute. The internship programme will span a six-week period and is expected to expose students to Memo and Report Writing; Minutes Taking, Minute Writing and Official or Letter Writing. 

The National Teaching Council (NTC) has held a two-day workshop to discuss and review deliverables on Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Licensing, Registration and Examination Procedures to improve on the professional competencies of teachers nationwide.

As a regulatory body, the Council is mandated by the 2008 Education Act, Act 778 to make teaching a profession through licensing and registration of teachers; setting standards for teachers; mapping and coordinating activities of CPD providers and supporting teacher training institutions to produce the needed manpower in the pre tertiary level.
