The 10-day residential workshop for madarsa teachers saw participation of 24 selected teachers from across the country. They were given training to enhance English teaching skills.
"The participants will carry the benefits of training to their local communities so that they can get access to economic as well as academic opportunity," said Diane Millar, in-charge of Regional English Language Office (RELO) of US Embassy in New Delhi, at the valedictory function.

Rajasthan Education Minister B K Sharma, who was the chief guest, said teachers must pay attention to improve their skills and take the benefit of training to the students.
