3.2 Teachers ' Guide

Once there is adequate provision in the curriculum,it is necessary to give teachers the correct information to be able to teach road safety effectively.By producing ateachers'guide,and distributing it to schools,the ability of teachers to teach road safety will be increased substantially.In countries where the majority of primary school age children do attend school,it is appropriate to concentrate initially on increasing and impoving the road safety education through the schools,before considering options for non formal education.

Production and dissemination of a full teachers"guide will facilitate the process of encouraging road safety teaching in schools and will give teachers a permanent remnder and source of reference in the classroom.The guide should enable teachers to teach the concepts included in the core curriculum and ideally should be produced in a large enough quantity for every primary school teacher to have a personal copy.
