In the year 2006, several projects have been undertaken to enhance the quality of education and the quality of
teachers. Resources and investment for education and development of teachers, faculty staff and educational
personnel have been allocated to raise the standards and professionalism in terms of ethics, as well as academic
skills. There were large number of teachers and education personnel who attended conferences and training
courses to support their continuing professional development (CPD) in Local Education Service Areas across
the country. The Ministry of Education (MOE) also supports CPD activities in schools and the use of computers
and access of internet for networking between teachers to share new teaching and learning techniques. These
collaborative networks both online and face-to-face activities facilitated interaction and sharing of experiences
and common interests and lead to further improvement in the classroom. (p. 31)
