For this year, the MTCP programme is focused on e-Learning in a New Normal: Inclusivity, Trends, and Familiarity. This training programme is in line with the national agenda in extending assistance to developing nations.
The first cohort group was participated by representatives from Maldives, Timor-Leste, Thailand, and Uzbekistan, meanwhile, the second cohort saw participation from Algeria, Mauritius, Morroco, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The cohorts completed their modules in March and April 2021 respectively. The five-day event exposed the participants to the ideas of e-learning and the participants also were able to share its challenges to handle the e-learning in their respective countries.
Online learning or e-learning is the ‘new normal’ for teaching and learning delivery, hence it is a perfect platform for the participants to explore and gain more insights into e-learning. They also expressed their gratitude and appreciation as this programme is very recompensing and they were able to gather memorable experiences.
