Building a
school is still a tough row to hoe in many countries in the world. Providing relevant
equipment for schools is not a reality
in every country. And designing an accurate curriculum for students is not easy
everywhere. So, if it is so difficult
for some countries to satisfy those basic needs for a modern education, what
about settling a training center everywhere so that every teacher can have
access to the relevant training for the fulfillment of their duties? It will be
difficult for states of the third world to provide for that need and those
living in those places where poverty is real can notice that it’s not every
teacher who is well trained and more it’s not every teacher who has the chance
to have access to the relevant professional development. I believe in such a
situation that technologies, that enable teachers to have access to professional
development without stopping daily activities is to save the
students from unqualified teachers. Gathering teachers for training is
expensive. Building an institute for the same purpose is more expensive and difficult to realize. I thus believe
that we must find ways and means to organize programs such
as this Winter Course in every remote areas of our African or Asian countries
so that teaching will stop being a game
but have a content that can help the students better themselves for a better world tomorrow. It is possible
and diplomatic and governmental authorities must set this as a priority program
of education in some poor countries.
Ok I know that it is difficult and expensive to get the training but there are web seminars that publishers and the like produce that are inexpensive and you can attend them whenever you can. i think this will be the future in training service for the future teachers.

Yves: I think that you are very right, that there is much promise in the technology to break down old barriers. But promise does not always end with results. So I do hope that promise is fulfilled. -Robert
