Kindergarten teachers, future leader makers

Director Sri Lanka Foundation Institute Professor Ranjith Bandara emphasized that the teachers who mould the kinder garten kids should be duely recognised, as they lay the foundation to produce good citizens in the country.

The International Symposium and Golden Teacher Award 2011, organised by New World Montessori Pre-school Teacher Training Centre and Liberty Montessori Schools International, USA, will be held under the patronage of First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa at Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial hall on April 24.

Addressing the media Prof. Ranjith Bandara said that on the same day a convention and workshop has been organised to discuss the future and the ways and means of providing facilities to Montessori teachers and improving their skills under the patronage of First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa at Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Hall.

He added the Montessori and Primary teachers were not given acknowledgement and appreciation even though they offer a yeoman service in providing fundamental education to kids.

Addressing the media, New World Montessori Pre-school Teacher Training Director Arosha Bakthi Silva said that certain Montessori teachers do not understand how to handle the kids as they were not properly trained. According to Silva the proposed symposium will offer International guidelines to Primary teachers who are to attend the six hour workshop. At the end of the event the participants will be presented International standard certificate.

The Golden Teacher Award 2011 would provide enough opportunities to the Montessori Teachers to improve their skills to impart solid education to Montessori kids while being subjected to recognition and honour.

It is essential to boost the image of our educators. We can promote the awards event and organise the talent stars from Sri Lanka and India, adding more prestige to the award. This will also encourage neighbouring countries to participate in this unique and humanitarian endeavour.

The publicity of the event will bring revenue and recognition to Sri Lanka for taking the initiative to recognise our unsung heroes.This exercise will draw celebrities from Sri Lanka and India to entertain the participants and most importantly, to boost the morale of our teachers. A percentage of the ticket sales from the event will benefit both winner and the school that the educator was selected from, according to Silva.
