Why have I joined this workshop?

On Monday March 23rd the questions were many at the opening of the workshop in Technical Vocational Teacher Development for the instructors at the Multiple Training Center in Juba.

The over all umbrella of the Technical Vocational Teacher Development program is the question How can I improve my practice?

Based upon each individual instructor's experience from his teaching questions like what is the most important area for me to improve? Is it my techniques, subject matter knowledge or do I have to work to improve the teaching and learning environment?
