Particular focus is directed on girls and boys abilities such as creativity, self-assurance, critical faculty and environmental consciousness. Furthermore, the children should be made more competent to apply their knowledge to every day life situations. The methodical knowledge of the teachers is improved in pedagogic workshops and school visits which should permit the implementation of a variety of child-centred teaching and result in a more active learning behaviour of the boys and girls. Improved preparation of lessons as well as the elaboration of didactic material are also practised during seminars and individual school visits. Furthermore, workshops held by IST Programme aim at enhancing women s self-assertion within school structures and at empowering girls in the classroom.
Special emphasis is put on environmental education.
To this end, further pedagogic training courses are organised once a year in the Korup National Park. Posts Local Partners Bamenda Prot.
