Canada-funded programme launched to train specialist maths teachers

A total of 30 teachers from Region Four will be the initial beneficiaries of a Specialist Mathematics Teacher Training Program-me that is being rolled out under the Canada-CARICOM Expert Deployment Mechanism (CCEDM).

The programme, launched yesterday at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD), at Kingston, is being funded by the Government of Canada and is part of an initiative that will benefit nine Caribbean countries.

It will run for four years, during which time it will be further expanded to include teachers from other regions across the country.
