Difficult to find person who knows script. PTI trainers are also not available. It was difficult to act consensus on spelling during material development because there is not a standard form.
Initial experience helkps to take precaution that is train spare teachers & Staff. Lack of coordination with govt. does not help to know each other’s work.
