Workshop

On October 06, 2008 – TRC’s Institute of Early Childhood Education buzzed with anticipation and curiosity as our third cohort of students arrived for the ECE-CP (2008-2009) Orientation. Our enrollment has jumped dramatically this year, following smaller groups of 7 full-time and then 9 full-time, 2 part-time students in the first two years.  While enrollments were intentionally limited in the formative years of the programme, this year, we felt confident that a much larger group could be accommodated. This year has brought together a diverse group of 18 students, from both pre-service and in-service as well as public and private school backgrounds.
Through an informal question and answer dialogue with the programme coordinator and faculty members, students were familiarized with programme specifics. The discussion was interactive and students walked out feeling a lot more secure and comfortable with what lies ahead.

Why is this training series important for me?
Special education is a challenging field, made all the more demanding in Pakistan by the lack of training options for people who wish to learn more. While patience and understanding are important virtues for special educators, so is a set of appropriate teaching strategies and skills. In your role as teacher or parent, it is of vital importance that you understand the different kinds of needs children have and why these should be addressed as part of their education. Such knowledge will enable you to guide other teachers, children and families to actively make a difference in how special education is provided
in Pakistan.

UNESCO had commissioned TRC with a project designed to raise awareness of the importance of ECE, among local level decision-makers in the public sector in Sindh. The objectives of the project were: to highlight the need and significance of ECE, and to share information about innovative practices in the field of ECE.
The project included the development of an ECE Advocacy Resource Book (in English, Urdu and Sindhi) and workshops in two districts for district level decision makers for which TRC worked in partnership with the Directorate of Literacy and Non-formal Education.
The Sindhi version of the Advocacy Resource Book took a little longer than the Urdu one to translate and edit, but now, in May 2008 it is ready and has been disseminated widely. Copies are available at TRC, please call and ask us if you are interested.A PDF is also available. You can download it from our Resources section on Interact.
