Participants will also be sup­plied with a CD each containing video recordings on classroom instructional strategies.

The workshops will be funded from the Debt Relief Grant and imple­mented under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) projects. The workshops will be facilitated by selected resource persons using specially designed self-instructional manuals (one on each subject). The National Teachers’ Institute is by this advertisement inviting rep­utable printers/ multimedia firms to tender for the prequalification of the printing of training manuals and video CDs.

The printers will be required to meet the standards determined by the institute in terms of quality of materials and finished products, capac­ity for timely delivery, and adequate facilities to deliver.
