There are various aspects of the astronomy course that have to be addressed to. Firstly, the course content: besides a brief history of astronomy, the basic principles and the most recent findings have to be incorporated. Astronomy is an observational science, so every student must have had an opportunity to have a view of the night sky.

Also, the schoolteachers have to be made familiar with the new developments, and also have a good grasp of the fundamentals so that they can convey the principles confidently and illustratively.

With these ideas in mind, four-days workshop on the subject is being planned. It will be open to a selected core of teachers who will be able to disseminate the information to others in their neighborhood, and to a few students of the relevant level. Experts of the subject will conduct Two to three lectures each day. Time will also be for discussion on the lectures and further clarifications. Arrangements will be made to have a view of the night sky to identify some of the astronomical objects.

The topics discussed in the school are as follows.

1. Basic Ideas of Telescope.
2. View of the Sky: Planets, stars, constellation's (with general idea of sky map)
3. Measurements: Time, Latitude, Longitude, Concept of Direction, Spherical Triangle, Spherical Trigonometry.
4. Solar System: (a) History - Copernican, Keplar and Galileo.
(b) Modern Picture - Observation and Theory.
5. Stellar Evolution: HR Diagramme, main sequence star, Nuclear Fusion & Fission, Plasma State of Matter - Red Giant, White Dwarf, Brown Dwarf, Neutron Star, Supernova Explosion, Black Hole. (applications)
6. Elementary Particle Physics: Quark and Lepton, CPT Theorem.
7. Milky Way: Properties, Evolution, Global Cluster, Core.
8. Large Scale Structure: Galaxies, Clusters, Hubble Expansion, Red Shift, Microwave Background, Rotation Curve, Dark Matter.
9. Big Bang: General Idea, Four Dimensional Symmetry, GTR.
10. Observation.
