Ahsan Iqbal announces model Teachers Training Center for quality education

August 23, 2024 by Abid Khan

Ahsan Iqbal Commits to Strengthening Pakistan’s Economy

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Professor Ahsan Iqbal said the government would establish a state-of-the-art Teachers Training Center within two years to improve education quality and produce manpower meeting contemporary needs.

Making this announcement at the launch of the District Education Performance Index-2023, he said the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government had initiated this project during its last tenure but couldn’t complete it due to political instability.

He said the center, in collaboration with provincial education departments, would be the best in South Asia, where students could get quality education focusing on improving their critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and team learning skills.

“It will be a paradigm shift from memorization-based education,” Iqbal said, adding that the initiative would also reform the existing examination system.

Ahsan Iqbal said that memorization-based education was irrelevant in the modern era, where innovation and creativity derived development.

He believed that the country could not achieve the required goals of progress and prosperity without improving the education standard and developing human resources. “The development of infrastructure alone cannot be useful.”

Citing examples from the world, the minister said no single country has attained development and prosperity without achieving at least a 90 percent literacy rate.

“Development is not possible without achieving the universal primary enrollment education target.”

He also mentioned some other challenges, including the lack of an export-led economy and political instability.

“Unfortunately, our socio-economic platform is fractured due to which we are enlisted in the low-middle income countries’ club and among the backward nations,” he said highlighting the importance of economic and social alignment for the national development.”
