Teachers Training /Professional Development

In the present era of globalization, obsolescence of knowledge and introduction of new pedagogical material and methodology are the prime challenges. In order to meet out these challenges, continuous professional development of teachers is basic factor for quality education. The Teachers Training Institutions/ Bodies available in Sindh province are imparting training in an unscientific and non-systematic manner with lots of duplications and gaps in their functions and responsibilities. Thus in order to provide a coherent framework for teacher education and development that will support the capacity building of teachers, a fundamental restructuring is required. To this extent, Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh has constituted a committee/ working group for clarification of roles of existing institutions i.e. PITE and Bureau of Curriculum (BOC) under Reform Support Program comprising the representatives of all stake holders.       

            The proposed Terms of Reference of the Group are as follows:

  • Analyze the roles and functions of PITE, BOC and Teacher Resource Centres (TRCs) and make proposals for an integrated CPD system that removes duplication and provides a balance between need based and education reform-driven activities.
  • Devise “standard” and an accreditation procedure that can be used to accredit and register training providers and can be used to monitor and evaluate their effectiveness.
  • Review and make recommendations regarding the outsourcing of the provision of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for teachers to suitable institutions and bodies accredited by PITE.
  • Consider how private, accredited providers could be systematically and effectively used to augment and improve the delivery of CPD.
  • Consider how CPD could be linked with a system for “teacher appraisal” and school Development Plans in order to raise and sustain the quality of teaching and learning in all schools.
  • Make recommendations for an appropriate mechanism for funding CPD.
  • Make recommendations for the design of a database of CPD activities that can be integrated into SEMIS.
