– urges retired teachers to join volunteer teachers prog.In an attempt to embrace a paradigm shift which incorporates gender sensitivity in the work place, Youth Challenge Guyana (YCG) has engaged an initiative that now sees closer attention being paid to how persons interact in the work environment.According to National Volunteer Teachers Programme Co-ordinator, Germaine Watson, it was just about two months ago that YCG embarked on the initiative to make its operation more gender sensitive.And in order to set the initiative in motion, YCG solicited the services of Ms Audrey Benn,NFL Jerseys From China, Head of the Women’s Studies Department at the University of Guyana. The initiative was characterised by a three-day gender awareness workshop which saw full participation from YCG staffers.“All the staff were involved in that exercise and it was recognised that while many persons had heard of the idea of gender equality they were not exactly aware of what it really entails and how it can take the organisation forward.”Besides the fact that donors are heading in that direction and looking to fund programmes that are more gender sensitive,China Adidas Hockey Jerseys, Watson said that YCG, a Non-Governmental Organisation, has over the years recognised that most programmes offered,Jerseys NBA Cheap China, get the support of females predominantly.This, he said, has been very evident in the Volunteer Teachers Programme, thus the need to encourage the support of more males. “Even in our other programmes we are seeing more females being involved…” Watson related.As such,Cheap Hockey Jerseys, he said that YCG is looking at organising programmes that will incorporate the skills learnt during the training workshop in order to bring about the unravelling paradigm change.

And according to Watson,Wholesale Jerseys, there has been a reasonable increase in the amount of males attempting to volunteer their service when compared to other years.However, he noted that YCG is seeking to encourage retired senior teachers or others who are currently out of the teaching system, for one reason or another, to join the programme.  “There are a number of teachers we have learnt that are eager to be back in the teaching system and they can be allowed to fulfil their desire by joining the teaching programme. We have already gotten a few that are willing to offer their service.”But while the intent is to have a gender sensitive recruitment process, Watson noted that at the end of the day acceptance of volunteers will still be based on qualifications and a subsequent interview.As part of its collaboration with the Ministry of Education to fill the void left by teachers that have either migrated or left the profession altogether, YCG had commenced a recruitment programme for volunteer teachers.
