KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia- Australia Education Project for Afghanistan (MAEPA) Phase Two will be implemented in the middle of next year as both countries continued efforts to develop Afghanistan's education system.
Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said implementation of MAEPA Phase Two was in line with MAEPA Phase One implemented from June 29 to Oct 2.
He said MAEPA Phase One proved effective in training 30 teachers from Afghanistan.
"This programme is a success as they (Afghan teachers) have responded well to the course," he said when closing a MAEPA course at the Malaysian Teaching Institute in Lembah Pantai here Friday.
Dr Wee said implementation of MAEPA Phase Two was dependent on the ability of trainee teachers under Phase One as they would be training 180 Afghan lecturers upon their return.
The Education Ministry would be sending two supervisors from the Kuala Lumpur Language Insitute to Afghanistan to monitor application of Phase One of the project.
MAEPA is an education programme for Master Teacher Trainers (MTTs) for Afghanistan aimed at upgrading their skills and methodology.
The project was follow-up to the agreement reached between former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd when the latter visited Malaysia on July 10 last year.
