The NECT’s teacher development strategy, Learning Programmes, is the largest element of teacher professionalisation in the District Improvement Programme (DIP) and aims to enhance teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge, curriculum coverage, assessment and reflective practices to improve learner performance.
This is done through a standardised, routinised year-long programme which entails quarterly training, resource inputs such as teacher support toolkits and in-school support. Through the Learning Programmes Subject Advisors receive training from the NECT, who then train teachers.
