With the introduction of ITEP, the NCTE has undoubtedly provided an avenue for students looking to foray into teaching. This is promising as the programme will give teachers an understanding of the subjects predominantly taught in high-schools, i.e. math, science, and social studies. This is a positive move towards familiarising teachers with enhanced teaching methods that will ultimately benefit high-school students.
