Our local Bhutanese partner, VTOB foundation, organised the first ToT training for 16 teachers from 8 local schools earlier this month. The participants attended a 7-day training course, focusing on ScratchJr and Python. This is the first time these teachers attended a workshop for coding and programming skills.
After the ToT workshop, the IT teachers will deliver training sessions to over 1’000 students at those schools, whereas TDF provides 90 laptops and the ToT training costs.
This pilot marks the start of our cooperation with VTOB in Bhutan, to enable young children in digital literacy.
