These programs may offer certifications, networking opportunities, and customized training tailored to specific organizational needs.

@Shabeena-Memon Hello Dear Shabeena,
How ICT tools supported your engagement in the classroom to the topic.

@Aqsa-Khatri Dear Aqsa,
This forum really helped us by viewing and settling different views and ideas presented by Forum colleagues and Members to encash learning

@Aqsa-Khatri Dear Aqsa Khatarnaak,
Thanks for asking such a good Question, I think A good master trainer should have strong communication skills, in-depth knowledge of the subject, and the ability to engage and motivate learners. They must be adaptable, patient, and approachable, ensuring a positive and supportive learning environment.

@Aqsa-Khatri Dear Aqsa Khatri,
You're absolutely right. The Government of Sindh is taking excellent steps in this regard. According to my knowledge, around 600 to 750 primary schools are being upgraded to elementary schools. This will significantly reduce the challenges posed by multigrade students.

Dear Iqra Khan, thank you for bringing this important topic into the forum.
Regarding professional development, educators have many opportunities to enhance their teaching and learning skills. State programs, online learning platforms, experience exchange, and scholarships provided by private companies and institutions, make a path for educators to enrich the methodology of teaching and master new approaches to working with all types of learners.
In my country (Armenia), in recent years lots of NGOs and ICT companies have been involved in the professional development of teachers running different short-term programs and training, seminars, and long-term programs (STEAM, Civic education, financial Literacy, environmental education, Media Literacy) integrated into school curricula. These kinds of programs create a nice community where teachers cascade their knowledge, share their experiences, and help and support each other with lessons, and projects, and it makes the community productive, dynamic, and firmer.
