About

The mission of the Pedagogical Institute is to cater for the continuous training of teachers at all levels so as to assist them in their efforts for professional and personal development. This is achieved through the work of three departments: the in-service training department, the educational documentation department and the educational technology department. As of June 2002, the Curriculum Development Unit has been incorporated into the Pedagogical Institute. Within the framework of the Educational reform, as of 2008, the Centre of Educational Research and Evaluation was founded.
