F. Assessment of Training Efficacy via Pre Test & Post Test evaluation

Most fruitful were the results from the trainees who were not at all educated and have picked up
English section well when the questions were prompted by the facilitator in the training.

Almost every participant has shown the minimal growth in scores from maximum 3-5 in pre test to
7-9 in the post evaluations. The interest and enthusiasm in the participants was commendable to
learn and show the changes immediately.
