Monday was a very busy day !!! The staff is very keen but they are not used to "directed teaching" of this kind. So it is all new, and most of the staff are not teachers ... and are not fluent in English.
We ran workshops on Monday from 10am till 7pm with one short lunch break. The workshops focused on Literacy, Numeracy and Gross motor today but of course each time some new people arrive we must cover the basic ideas again. In hindsight this is probably good as it allows everyone to soak the information in more. Everyone was very keen to learn.
We even had a session with some ambassadors wives from Venezuala and Chile who are returning this afternoon for another session. We are running out of time and still have lots to do!!! Problem is as more people hear of our visit we are asked to meet with them and are taken away from our already long list of things to do !
Now we understand the school system better we understand the dilemma they are facing, with time a significant factor !!!
More later as we are running out the door for another day !!!
