Pakistan Association strives to improve standard of schools (Khaleej Times Online (Staff Reporter)
24 May 2011
DUBAI — The Pakistan Professionals Wing (PPW) of Pakistan Association Dubai has started a series of free workshops to improve the standard of education in Pakistani schools in the UAE.
The third workshop titled, “Use of Technology to Improve the Teaching Skills”, was held on May 21 aimed at helping teachers on how to use the internet and to improve their teaching skills.
The day-long workshop was conducted by Amir Anzur, a webpreneur working in the internet economy since 1999, and attended by some 50 principals and teachers of Pakistani schools in the UAE.
The two previous workshops dealt with the SWOT analysis of Pakistani schools, and with developing a dynamic leadership structure in the schools.
Irfan W Malik, leader of the PPW Education Committee, said that the committee conducted a comprehensive open discussion among principals and teachers from different schools, quality assurance advisers, educationists, social development experts and senior executives of PPW on Knowledge and Human Development Authority’s (KHDA) inspection report on the performance of Pakistani schools.
He said that the discussion was focused on the problems and issues raised in the KHDA report, possible solutions to improve on the shortcomings and strategies for meeting the objective to attain “acceptable” level.
Munir Mahmood, chairman of PPW, stressed the need for self-evaluation in the school system. He noted that many Pakistani schools in the UAE are not fully aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Some school staff are not sufficiently knowledgeable about best practices either locally or internationally, he pointed out.
He also assured that PPW will help and facilitate schools in the process of self-evaluation and continuous improvement within each section as recommended by the KHDA.
Each school’s principal was asked to explain and share their school’s real time shortcomings and strategies to overcome them.
