 The Ministry of Education has officially introduced four new training courses to the Cyril Potter College of Education’s (CPCE) curriculum that will train teachers how to navigate educating children with unique academic needs and create an inclusive learning environment where they can thrive academically.

According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) release, the new programmes were unveiled during a ceremony at the college’s convention centre on Wednesday. The four courses are Health and Family Life Education (HFLE); Literacy Education; Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Graduate Teacher Education (GTE). The release pointed out that scores of student teachers have enrolled in these new courses to become certified educators who are well-equipped to cater to diverse education needs. By training these teachers, the government is opening opportunities for those with learning challenges to break boundaries and enhance themselves with the necessary support.
