One hundred and seven nursery school teachers from the Georgetown Education District were recently trained to identify and support students with Special Education Needs (SEN).
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the training was facilitated by the Education Needs Training Unit of the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) with the support of Nursery Education Officers, Basmatie Baboolall and Gaitri Henry.
The event was facilitated by National SEN Officers, Savvie Hopkinson, and Yolanda Trotman-Phillips at NCERD, Kingston, Georgetown.
The exercise centred on the use of the Screening Packet which is a standardised document developed through the concerted efforts of various departments within the Ministry of Education.
