At least 90 pre-primary supervisors and 14 trainers from the Dhaka City Corporation and four upazilas in Mymensingh district were trained for over nine months, it said in a statement.
The participants were from the government and a number of NGOs, including BRAC, Dhaka Ahsania Mission, Phulki, SUROVI and World Vision.
A seminar was held recently “to highlight the results of the training” and emphasise its importance “as a way of improving the quality of pre-primary education”.
Salimah Kassam, Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, said supervisors were ultimately responsible for the quality of the teaching and learning.
She said the teachers should have “a sound understanding of the importance of play, active learning and positive interactions in supporting young children’s optimal learning”.
Chief of Education at UNICEF Bangladesh Pawan Kucita and Director of Policy and Operations at the Directorate of Primary Education Md Anwarul Hoque were also present.
