They also had in-depth discussion on the modality of the EIS programme and shared their views and opinions with the organizers of the training session on how it could be improved further.
The current englishinschool project stipulates training sessions for teachers of 100 selected secondary schools across four (4) zones: Sylhet, Khulna, Chittagong and Rajshahi. The selected 25 schools from each zone are receiving copies of The Daily Star every Monday, along with a supplement — ‘EIS Content Page’ — as another English learning tool both for students and relevant teachers.

There will be a total of eight (8) teachers’ training sessions across the four (4) zones, in participation of two (2) teachers from each school. The first sessions in each zone will also include the respective headmasters/principals from the schools. The teachers’ training session held at Sylhet was the ice-breaker of the programme.
It may be mentioned that Robi and The Daily Star have been steering the “englishinschools” programme over the years to help develop English language learning proficiency of secondary level students across the country.
