JAMMU, Aug 10: It’s once again Jodhamal students exposed to the British teaching assistants. Last year Rebecca and Lourine came for three months and now Benjamin Gander and Williams Tuohy have joined Jodhamal at a very positive note that they will contribute to the academic upliftment of the school.
Both Masters in Political Science and Architecture respectively are all set to percolate down their knowledge to the students of Jodhamal.
Bhawna Madaan and Monika Sethi the ISA Coordintors together with Lella Bist received the teaching assistants at the airport.
Jodhamal started this exchange programme in 2011 and ever since this trend is carrying on at Jodhamal.
Jodhamal got the ISA Award and accreditation by British Council in 2013 and created a benchmark for all schools to follow.
Benjamin being a graduate in English Literature and a Masters in Political Science has started taking Political Science period for class XI and English classes for juniors. Both Williams and Benjamin are also taking up the long reading texts for all classes starting from VI to XII.
In a special assembly, Principal Trilok Singh Bist asked them to give their best to the students and learn the best practices of our rich culture.
“Such exchanges help in raising the horizon of the students of a school and this is an integral part of the best practices at Jodhamal where either the people are invited from outside or the students or staff is sent out to get the exposure of a kind for all good”, he added.
Trustee Nandan Kuthiala and Arati Kuthiala were very happy to see the teaching assistants for the fifth year in a row although earlier they were from Uganda and Africa besides being from Great Britain.
William has started teaching mathematics to Grade XI and XII besides the English Literature in which he is proficient.
