For these reasons, the ultimate goal is by having professional teacher; it will lead to the students’ better achievement. Beside the benefits, this program also proposes many challenges. Lack of participants’ proficiency in using ICT, Instructors’ familiarity with the software, quality of the materials provided and availability of facilities are the challenges which are usually faced by in- service teachers.
