AIL is putting on 10-day seminars training teachers in modern teaching methodologies. They have held 10 seminars so far in 2018 for 396 teachers, 174 female.

The teachers say they learn a great deal in the seminars and go on to see positive results in the classroom after applying the new techniques. 

“I graduated from the Education University three years ago. Since then, I have started teaching in private schools. I usually teach math.  I apply all the methods that I have learned in college in my class but surprisingly, I have not achieved the desired results. My students were not successful in math and I felt I was a failure. I wondered what method I should choose in order to promote my students. I was about to lose my job. Although I am adept in my subject, I used to teach roughly. The students did not take part in the class. I lectured in my class as I thought I explained things better than the students do.

Fortunately I got the chance to participate in this AIL methodology seminar. At first I thought that this workshop would be the same as those of other NGOs.  I found out I was wrong. The facilitator established a warm and friendly environment among the participants. We interchanged and shared our problems and ideas freely with each other. During these ten days, I figured out the fault in my teaching methods.Since the seminar I have applied what I learned each day in my class.  I saw positive changes in my students. I made my students interested in the subject by applying group work, question and answer and taking quizzes. I really appreciate AIL,for providing this opportunity for us to participate in this useful workshop.”
