2. The Development of formal
training curricula and content is
the responsibility of education
authorities and should reflect the
needs and rights of learners and
the particular needs of education
personnel.
Training may include :

•Core subject knowledge, such as literacy,

numeracy, and life skills appropriate to the
context, including health education;
•Pedagogy and teaching methodologies, including
positive discipline and classroom management,
participatory approaches and inclusive education;
 •Codes of conduct for teachers and other education
personnel including condemnation of gender-based violence
against learners and appropriate report and referral
mechanisms;
•Disaster risk reduction and conflict prevention principles;
•Psychosocial development and report, including both
learners’ and teachers’ needs and the availability of local
services and referral systems;
•Human rights principles and perspectives and humanitarian
law, to understand their meaning and intention and their
direct and indirect connection with learners’ needs and the
responsibilities of the learners, teachers, communities, and
education authorities;
•Other content appropriate to the context.

Training initiatives should include how to address issues of

diversity and discrimination. Training of female education
personnel and community members can reinforce positive
changes in the classroom and the broader community.
