TEN/MET is conducting a project on Blending Technology and Teaching: Developing and Operationalizing an Effective ICT Training Program for Teachers using a Cascading Approach.

With a focus on digital literacy, the initiative aims to bridge the skills gap, enhance teacher competence, and prepare students for the 21st-century workforce. The funds allocated for this project are entirely dedicated to public purposes.

The objective is to develop a Training of Trainer program, cascading digital literacy skills to 200 teachers, conducting face-to-face training for 150 teachers, and guiding them to train 500 teachers and 5,000 students. Anticipated outcomes include improved ICT skills among teachers, enhanced access to quality ICT education for students, more interactive classrooms, increased teacher capacity to address diverse learning needs, and the creation of a collaborative and sustainable ICT learning community.
