Training the Teachers

If education is the foundation for the future generation, teaching automatically forms the core. In a project that will help upgrade skills of Indian teachers, including primary school teachers, the

University of Oxford has tied up with Core Projects and Technology to bring global training

standards to the country.

• The University of Oxford and Core Projects will collaborate in the field of teacher capacity building and enablement in the country
• Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that the national shortfall of school teachers today is about a million.
• ·Teacher training will be very critical and crucial for the success of the Sarva shiksha Abhiyan SSA); Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and the Model Schools Programme.
• In India, Johnson will lead the proposed India programme on behalf of the University of Oxford.
• The project is initially slated for duration of three years; during which; the Oxford team of
• educationists; headed by Johnson; will closely work with Core projects and various stakeholders of the Indian education space

Given this noble initiative and other such projects by Core Projects, I believe that the stock is a good long term investments and should be added on dips or one could start a SIP form of investment from today.
