“Decisions for a healthy life style” – piloting has started!!!

“CMB” Training Center has started the piloting phase of the optional course “Decisions for a healthy life” at the national scale, in all vocational schools and colleges of the country!

One of the first institutions that has already started piloting the course this week is the “Rahmaninov” high school. Both students in intervention groups and control groups have completed the initial survey for assessing their knowledge, skills and attitudes and only by completing it they have already demonstrated interest and motivation for this course.

Official start of piloting phase will be next week, starting th January 16, 2012 and will take place in all vocational schools and colleges from Moldova.  Piloting phase will end in May, and monitoring of the piloting of the curriculum for the optional course “Decisions for a healthy life” will be done in close partnership with the Ministry of Education. During the piloting phase we will into both contents proposed for the Teachers’ Guidebook and for the Students’ Guidebook. In June 2012, we plan to publish the final version of these resources materials, based on the feedback gained from both teachers and students.

We expect about 3500 students taking the course as intervention group, and about 3000 students being as control group.
