The teachers will be put in a crash programme aimed at equipping them to teach key subjects in the junior secondary school next year.

The teachers who will be targeted in the first phase of the programme will be those handling Science and Physical Education subjects under the first cohort of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) graduates of Grade 6 who will sit their national assessments later this year.
