United Nations Association for Development and Peace awards SIGA
The Executive Director and Director General of the United Nations Association for Development and Peace, Dr Dominic F Dixon, awarded The SIGA Polytechnic College, Chennai, for Contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals. The contributions have been to the two goals of the UN; No Poverty and Quality Education.
In his delivery note, Dixon said, “As a personal testimony, I am what I am today because of how the Lord used SIGA to transform my life and character. Stemming from a poverty-stricken family and an academic failure, SIGA was my heaven on earth, where I was taught the importance of character and education.”
The Certificate of Recognition was presented to Father P T Joseph SDB, the Principal of SIGA Polytechnic College, in the presence of Father Dominic Matthews SDB, the Rector, during the three-day workshop on National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and Self-Assessment Report Preparation by NITTTR (National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research) Chennai.
The three-day workshop animated by Dr Jakulin Divya Mary, Assistant Professor, CRED, and Dr K.S. Giridharan, Course coordinator, NITTTRC, was attended by Principals, Vice Principals, HODs and senior Lecturers of various departments of Don Bosco Polytechnic Colleges of Chennai and Tiruchy Provinces. The workshop focused on Outcome-Based Education which aims to create a clear expectation of results that students must achieve. The outcome includes skills, knowledge and attitude. Effective learning outcomes are student-centred, measurable, concise, meaningful, achievable and outcome-based rather than task-based. The educators assess the students on an ongoing basis and encourage them to reflect on their progress.
