UK-based international development organisation Sightsavers launched a special teaching module “UDYAM” here. It was developed in collaboration with Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) and Directorate of Teacher Education and State Council of Education, Research and Training (TE & SCERT).
Launching the UDYAM module, Director, TE & SCERT Gangadhar Sahoo described it to be an innovative teaching guide which would help connect the teachers with the students with disabilities along with their regular peers and thereby transforming the entire classroom into an inclusive teaching room.
The launching of the module was marked with the inauguration of a four-day residential training programme by Sahoo in the presence of Shri State Project Director, OSEPA, Raghu Ram R Iyer.
In this first phase training programme for Master Trainers from 15 districts shall be held on various aspects of the UDYAM module and these MTs will further disseminate their training skills and knowledge to school teachers and block resource persons from their respective districts.
