ITANAGAR, Aug 7: A four-day training programme on planning, management and administration for head teachers of government upper primary schools got underway at the Dorjee Khandu State Convention Hall here on 7 August.
Inaugurating the programme, Education Minister Honchum Ngandam said it is the first of its kind in the state.
Such training is needed in all organizations, departments, and even in political parties to improve skills, knowledge, experience, and working capabilities, the minister said.
“Teachers should be acquainted with proper planning, management and administration skills through which they can discipline students,” Ngandam said.
