Teachers Undergo Specialized Training
As part of the program’s official launch, the teachers of Mastermind English Medium School participated in a comprehensive and intensive training session organized by the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Bangladesh Award Body. This specialized training was designed to prepare educators with the knowledge, practical understanding, and leadership skills required to successfully implement and supervise the award program within the school.
During the training, teachers engaged in a series of structured activities and physical exercises that reflect the core principles of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. These sessions focused on developing key competencies such as teamwork, resilience, problem-solving, leadership, and effective mentoring. By experiencing the program firsthand, teachers gained valuable insights into how students will progress through the different stages of the award.
The training ensures that Mastermind’s educators are fully equipped to guide, mentor, and assess students as they undertake the various levels of the program. With this preparation, teachers will be able to support students in building confidence, developing essential life skills, and achieving meaningful personal growth.
This initiative reinforces Mastermind English Medium School’s commitment to providing holistic education, where students are encouraged not only to excel academically but also to develop character, leadership qualities, and a strong sense of responsibility toward their community and the world.

It not only strengthened their confidence but also deepened their commitment to guiding and mentoring students throughout their journey in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program. Through a series of engaging activities, discussions, and practical exercises, the sessions encouraged teachers to actively explore the core values and objectives of the award framework.
The training sessions were highly interactive and hands-on, allowing educators to gain real-world insights into the program’s structure and expectations. By participating in these activities themselves, teachers developed a clear understanding of how students will progress through the different stages of the award and how best to support them in achieving their goals. The practical nature of the training ensured that educators are well-prepared to lead, assess, and motivate students throughout the award process.
This partnership further highlights Mastermind English Medium School’s dedication to fostering holistic development among its students.
