PROGRAMMES INTERNATIONAUX

Guinée SLECG & FSPE

En 2012, les cours du PO seront offerts à la FSPE et se porteront sur les mathématiques, et français.

Nous prévoyons la participation de 30 hommes et dix femmes a chaque emplacement (Mamou et Kindia).

Avec la collaboration des syndicats et le gouvernement, la FCE à mis sur pied un

programme de formation technique post-primaire et offre des cours aux jeunes en déperdition scolaire

dans 12 centres de formation en Guinée. Nous envisageons une collaboration future entre ce

programme et PO .

La FCE va exploiter la possibilité de lier les programmes du PO avec le programme de formation technique.

Togo FESEN

Le premier PO au Togo a eu lieu en 1967. En 2012, les cours offerts par la FESEN porteront sur l’animation d’ateliers, la psychologie des enfants et des adolescents, les mathématiques, et la gestion des grands groupes. Ces cours seront donnés à Kara, situé à 400 km de Lomé.

Le renforcement des capacités et l’égalité entre les sexes sont

aussi des composantes de notre programme au Togo que

nous avons l’intention de poursuivre à l’avenir.

Dans l’avenir, nous prévoyons intégrer PO avec la

scolarisation des filles.

Ghana GNAT

CTF has been working with the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) since 1969. This year begins a new PO project that involves helping GNAT implement its new ”Youth Policy” designed to help teachers new to the profession.

In addition to its PO involvement, GNAT works with CTF on Project Nkabom. This project focuses on

helping schools in deprived communities throughout Ghana by

providing a training of trainers program for professional

development, and Community Mobilization to assist communities in

their support of schools.

Liberia NTAL

The course for 2012 follows the curriculum for the “C” Certificate. There are plans to transform this into a training of trainers course so that more teachers benefit.

Liberia had PO in-services for a number of years before the civil wars. In 2004, between the two wars, PO was held in Liberia and in 2010 the

current program began. Teachers who are part of this program will receive certification upon

completion of this year’s course.

The NTAL partnership with CTF also includes the support of a Consortium of EI partners who are working with

NTAL to increase capacity.

Sierra Leone SLTU

This year, the courses requested for untrained teachers are ELA, Math, Environmental Science and Social Studies. The Peace Education component is provided to teachers and school heads from clusters of rural schools.

CTF also supports SLTU’s newsletter and gender equality projects. It is anticipated that CTF will continue support for SLTU, and will

increase cooperation with other teacher organizations who work with SLTU.

The first PO in Sierra Leone took place in 1971. Following 11 years of civil war, The Sierra Leone Teachers’ Union has emerged as a strong and respected organization. PO now focuses on training untrained teachers from rural areas, and and on Peace Education.

Uganda UNATU

The first PO in Uganda took place in 1967.

This year will be the second year of a three-year Training of Trainers project that has literacy and numeracy as a focus, and concentrates its efforts in Bulera, a region that is lagging in these areas.

UNATU is emerging as a strong African teachers’ union. It is

expanding the Teachers’ Action for Girls project and CTF

continues to work along side UNATU providing technical

assistance as they work with schools, communities

government and civil society to establish child friendly schools and increase enrolment and

completion rates for girls.

HaïtiConfédération Nationale des Educatrices et Educateurs d’Haïti (CNEH)

Prior CTF support has included the John Thompson Program, and participation in regional activities of the Caribbean Union of Teachers.

This is the first PO project back in Haiti since the early 1990’s.

PO 2012 will provide in-service in French, Social Science and

Geometry at the primary level in Pilate, in the northern part of the

island that was not physically damaged by the earthquake.

This will be a combination mission and public school setting.

Port-au-Prince continues to recover from the 2010 devastating earthquake of 2010. Reports reveal 56% of schools are is still damaged or destroyed. CTF is part of a consortium partnership with CSQ and CECI in support for CNEH.

CNEH has recently launched a campaign for quality Public Education.

Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad

Project Overseas returned to Jamaica in 2011 for a pilot project on Special Education. It was a great success and this year, it will be expanded to the member organisations of the Caribbean Union of Teachers (CUT).

Project Overseas 2012 will deliver a comprehensive Summer Institute on Special Education. With workshops on Pedagogy, Differentiated Instruction, ECE, Assessment and Literacy.

Dominica DAT

The first PO in Dominica took place in 1995, following successful Leadership Training Programs in the early 1990’s.

We hope that Dominica will be among Caribbean Union of Teachers members to have

Special Education In-service as part of future PO emphasis.

This year, DAT has requested Numeracy.

Special Education, Literacy, Early Childhood Education,

and Food & Nutrition.

Grenada Grenada Union of Teachers (GUT)

The PD In-service for the Grenada Union of Teachers will comprise 6 subjects by 6 Canadians and 6 co-tutors at primary and secondary levels.

Subjects: Reading, Math, Computer Skills, School Management, Visual Arts&Crafts and Special Education.

GUT has recently held union education that complemented MOE PD in-service, but the MOE

courses have stopped.

We expect Grenada to be part of a regional emphasis on Special Education in-service

Institutes that would comprise next stage in Caribbean Project Overseas.

This ties nicely to the Guidance Counselling that was developed in Grenada due to previous PO.

Saint Vincent SVGTU

PO was in St Vincent throughout the 1970s, and again since 1994. The teacher leaders of Saint Vincent are very capable and able to help in-service programs reflect a local perspective.

In 2012, SVGTU has requested classes in Differentiated Teaching, ICT, Math, Reading, Social Studies and Science.

The governments of Portugal and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have collaborated in donating one net books for every child in SVG. Support is needed to help ready the teachers to integrate Information and

Communication Technology into the curriculum.
