The Ghana International School (GIS) has held its annual TIME Conference that provides educators with the opportunity to share and learn best practices that will lead to efficiency and improve the performance of students.
The conference, the second to be organized after the success of the maiden event last year, was themed, “Inclusion – Empowering All Students.”
The day’s event brought together educators in GIS and other international schools, who have been trained both locally and internationally, to serve as resource persons to make presentations at seminars and workshops on various topics, including learning best practices.

It’s is time we acknowledge how worthy our profession is, how necessary and how indispensable the teaching profession is to the growth of the nation.”
