The training aims to make sure that the lecturers thoroughly adopt the strategies for the successful implementation of the new curriculum.
The recently added fields include media and communications studies, allied health sciences, computing and architecture.
The introduction of the new disciplines was based on the recommendation of a committee of the National Universities Commission.
