Science teachers to undergo training to revive lost glory of maths, core subjects

IN an attempt to turn around the decline in popularity of maths and core science subjects in higher education, the State Council for Science and Technology (TANSCST) is set to raise awareness among science teachers on the career prospects that these courses offer.

Every year, TANSCST organises training programmes for science teachers of government schools in rural areas to enhance their knowledge and skills. This year, the council has decided to focus on spreading awareness among teachers about the need to pursue pure science courses and the wide range of career options they offer, during the five-day training programme that will be organised in September. Over 500 teachers in 10 districts will be imparted training at the event.
