(introduction...)

This chapter reports the findings of our study on the activities of MIITEP during school-based training. The focus was on the support the schools rendered to the students to enable them to acquire teaching skills and at the same time prepare for their final examinations. Specifically the chapter reports on the school enabling conditions, supervision carried out by head teachers, PEAs and college tutors, zonal meetings and the distance education mode. The aggregated experiences by students, head teachers, PEAs and tutors in their various tasks are then considered to give an indication of how school-based training has impinged upon students' learning.
