New Delhi : In a bid to create a positive impact on thousands of teachers and at least 10 million children, the Unesco will hold training programmes for 10,000 school principals in India, Kenya and Ghana.
The ‘10,000 Principals Leadership Programme’ is organised by Unesco and the Varkey GEMS Foundation, an NGO.
“The school principals in many developing countries receive little leadership and development training,” Unesco Director General Irina Bokova said in a statement.
“This initiative foresees the training of 10,000 schools principals in the three countries targeted over four years. The multiplier effect is designed to benefit thousands of teachers and up to 10 million children.”
Unesco’s field offices and networks of national authorities and teacher training institutions will contextualize the training programmes to be delivered in the three countries.
