The Gambia Teachers\u2019 Union today, 17th<\/sup> August 2021 convened a session for 12 mentors under its \u2018Mobile Technology: Mentoring and Professional Learning Communities for Women Teachers in The Gambia\u2019. The convergence held at Mansakonko, LRR, was meant to abreast the participants on key components of the project as well as on issues surrounding Gender-Based Violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GTU with support from the Canadian Teachers\u2019 Federation is implementing a one-year project dubbed \u2018FIT Project\u2019, meant to support 48 young women teachers from RED 3 to 6 under 5 years of teaching experience matched with 12 Mentors working in remote areas through Mentoring and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). The rationale is that women teachers leave the profession because of isolation and disconnection.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
