 As part of its Comprehensive Teacher Incentives Program (TIP), BRAVEAURORA has offered ICT training course to the teachers of St. Michael’s Primary School and JHS. The ICT training courses was provided by the Walewale Computer Lab. The amount of ICT training each term depends on how well the teachers have performed.
