Curriculum review workshop

Jun 11-12, 2010 | Lalitpur

A two-day curriculum review workshop was held with officials from the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC). The agenda included a) following-up from an earlier discussion in February over creating detailed year-long subject wise courses in each of the primary grades and b) reviewing all new E-Paath software created by OLE Nepal. The year-long courses are being envisioned as guides to teachers on how to integrate the different media available to them (E-Paath, textbooks and other interactive methods) to effectively impart knowledge to their wards. A sample has been partially completed for Grade 3 English and was reviewed by the CDC officials present. In general, they were very satisfied with the structure and the efforts in making it easy to use, with symbols being used to make it effective but space and time efficient. They felt the same structure would be effective for Math and Nepali classes as well. They then reviewed E-Paath activities within their own subject of specialty over a day and a half together with OLE Nepal’s curriculum development team. Feedback received was positive and our curriculum developers and software programmers will now take their feedback into consideration and make appropriate changes. [more]
