Equipping and inspiring our teachers to teach better
As advancements in the field of education continue to raise teaching and learning standards, it is imperative that our teachers keep up with the trends and best practices in their field.

The Teachers’ Training Pillar of Gabay Guro embraces this challenge and works to provide our teachers access to continuing professional training and development programs to be better educators equipped to handle today’s evolving learning environment
As testament to this commitment, Gabay Guro has trained over 50,000 teachers through face-to-face seminar-workshops in almost 100 localities around the country, and training seminars held in Sabah and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
During the pandemic, Gabay Guro successfully launched “Learning Never Stops (LNS)” – a one-hour, once a week FB Live learning session. Over 1 million teachers were reached, digitally, by LNS, giving them nuggets of knowledge on essential teaching skills and even personal wellness.
