The Centre for Promotion of Science organizes 2-week introductory courses on Computers and their Role in Teaching for school teachers.  The intent is to present to the school teachers the compelling evidence of the power of computerized education and the possibility of how they can use these to enhance the quality of their teaching and, together with other concerned citizens, propel schools to make use of computers so that schooling becomes more enjoyable and supremely effective for the children.

The instructors have an interactive approach and informal attitude, since we feel that this helps the participants benefit most from such programmes.  There is greater emphasis on the practical aspects, in fact, the ratio of lecture to practical components is 2:3.  Lecture notes and synopses are also made available to the participants, quite often in advance.
