Teacher’s Refresher Courses for high
school science teachers are one of the high priority projects.
Teachers from various schools of particular district attend
refresher courses generally held in a college campus. The
refresher courses run for three days and cover many areas
of science such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer basics
and environmental science. We have already organized Refresher
Courses in eight districts (Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Khurda,
Sundargarh, Jagatsingpur, Dhenkanal, and Balangir) and plan
to organize such courses in another 22 districts to cover
the whole state. These courses were arranged with the cooperation
of the circle inspectors and the college administration where
the courses were held. The approximate cost for the course
for each district is $1000.00, which includes the three days
travel expenses for 100 teachers and also the reimbursement
expenses for college faculties who teach the classes. Based
on the feedback from the teachers that took the course we
have learned that the course has been useful in teaching their
classes more effectively. |

JOGA is also organizing talent search examinations

a scholarship of Rs. 1000.00 is given to each student. We
have been doing this in Bhadrak and Khurda districts and plan
to organize such examinations in other districts. |
3.
Talking Library for Blind School:
We have planned to establish a talking library in a school
for the blind children in Bhubaneswar. This library will contain
computers and proper audio equipment with educational cassettes
for blind students.
