School History
The Aga Khan Lycée (AKL), Khorog, was established in September 1998. His Excellency Emomali Sharipovich Rakhmanov, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, inaugurated the school with His Highness the Aga Khan.
The Lycée is built on the premises of the former School #3 (named after Kirov), a school with a distinguished history in Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO). When the Lycée was established, a majority of School #3's teachers, staff and students stayed on.
The School is part of the Aga Khan Education Services (AKES). It has a long tradition of leadership in educational development. The foundations of the present system were laid by Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, under whose guidance over 200 schools were established during the first half of the 20th century, the first of them in 1905 in Zanzibar, Gwadur in Pakistan and Mundra in India. Since the creation of Aga Khan Education Service companies in the 1970s, the schools have been centrally administered and managed.
AKES currently operates more than 300 schools and advanced educational programmes that provide quality pre-school, primary, secondary and higher secondary education services to more than 54,000 students in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Uganda, Tanzania and Tajikistan. Schools are also envisaged, or under development, in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique and Syria.
The Aga Khan Lycée supports three partner schools in Khorog and three allied schools within the districts. The support involves professional development in three areas: education technology, methodology and subject specific content. Teachers from these schools come to the Lycée on Methodology Days and for observation and shadowing. AKL teachers go to these schools for training and to observe lessons.
