USAID teacher trainers work with Ministry of Education specialists.

Skilled teachers with access to quality training resources are able to help students learn their lessons more effectively. Between mid-July and the end of August, U.S. Government representatives worked with 25 Afghan Ministry of Education subject specialists to create four sets of teacher training materials. These materials will help Afghan teachers who teach grades 4-6 grades 7-9 math and science; and grades 10-12 humanities, math, and science. Each set of training materials provides simple but effective teaching strategies and activities, which are embedded in the actual curriculum of each subject. The materials will eventually reach more than 100,000 teachers throughout Afghanistan, building their capacity in the classroom and helping to raise teaching standards.
