The Goa Headmaster Association (GHA) has decided to train teachers in connection with the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary’s (GBSHS) decision to implement the grading system at SSC from this academic year.
According to GHA President Mario Quadros, the association has received demands from its affiliated members to train the high school teachers on the board’s decision to introduce grading system for SSC students from this academic year.
“Accordingly, we have decided to organise a three-and-a-half hour workshop to all the aided high schools in the taluka,” said Quadros.
These workshops are planned at three different centers from July 5 to July 8, where a headmaster and a senior teacher from the respective aided schools have been to participate in the workshop.
The participating headmasters/teachers should bring writing material as well as the handout supplied by GBSHS to their respective schools while attending this workshop, which will take place from 9 am to 12.30 pm.
These workshops are planned at St Mary’s Convent High School (Mapusa) on July 5 for the aided schools from Bardez, Bicholim, Pernem and Sattari talukas, at Dr K B Hedgewar High School (Panjim) on July 6 for aided schools from Ponda and Tiswadi talukas, at Fatima Convent High School (Margao) on July 7 for aided schools from Salcete and Canacona talukas, and at Fatima Convent High School (Margao) on July 8 for aided schools from Sanguem, Mormugao and Quepem talukas.
“Those teachers attending the workshop are then expected to brief all other teachers who attend to subjects in Std X in their respective schools,” said Quadros.
