Where are Pakistan’s Super Teachers?

Do you believe in educational equality? Are you a teacher who’s always aspired to make a difference? Do you think we need professional teachers to equip our students with 21st century knowledge and skills? Meet the forces behind Durbeen – a non-profit organization, born in response to the low standard of public education in Pakistan. Durbeen aims to raise this standard by creating world class teachers for our government schools. Join Shehzad Roy from Zindagi Trust and Salma A. Alam from Durbeen on Tuesday (9th April) evening at T2F for a conversation about revolutionizing teacher education in Pakistan. We will share Shehzad’s experience in education reforms and Salma’s plans for bringing global best practices to a government teacher education college in Karachi. We invite you to play a vital role in their search for dynamic faculty members for Durbeen’s pilot project. As an educator or supporter of public education, your participation in the discussion will bring great value to this noble cause! About the Organisation: Durbeen is a non-profit education company, established with a long-term goal of improving public schools in Sindh. It’s a simple yet effective idea: Better teacher preparation, selection and placement is directly correlated to school reform. Durbeen has partnered with the Government of Sindh to take over the management of one of the oldest teacher training institutes in the region and linked it with global best practices by collaborating with the top university of the world in teacher education; University of Helsinki, Finland. Durbeen’s core focus is on enhancing the curriculum, faculty and infrastructure via technology and the best in international teaching practices. Durbeen is more than a force set out to develop and deploy better teachers in the public sector – They are striving to revive and uphold the great honor, respect and value of the teaching profession.
