Information
for Parents
The Aga Khan Schools, with support from the Aga Khan Education
Services, are strongly committed to promoting and enhancing
quality education. Better-trained and skilled teachers
provide a more varied, interesting and enriching learning
experience for students. Teachers are carefully recruited
through a rigorous selection process.
Professional Development of Teachers
In addition to a programme of international exchanges,
each Academy will incorporate a PDC aimed at research,
development and the implementation of best practices
in contemporary education.
Each faculty member can draw upon a broad programme
of professional development courses. In addition, faculty
will be actively involved in research activities at
the PDC and curriculum development for their Academy.
PDCs offer courses in general pedagogical skills, interactive
learning methods and student-centred teaching techniques.
Through Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational
Development, teachers are able to pursue certificates
in the teaching of English, science and mathematics,
curriculum development, early childhood development,
as well as school leadership and school management.
Masters, PhD and post-graduate courses are also offered
through Aga Khan University.
These programmes are available not only to the Academies’
staff, but to the faculties of other public and private
schools. PDC programmes already train key teachers in
a variety of schools throughout the developing world
with the aim of having those teachers go back to their
schools and train others. Through the multiplier effect,
the Academies aim to have a broad impact on the quality
of education nationally and regionally.
