Institute of Ismaili Studies’ Department of Graduate Studies highlights the launch of its first cohort of students to the newly established Secondary Teacher Education Programme (STEP). The STEP is a large-scale initiative involving The Institute of Ismaili Studies, the Institute of Education (IOE) at the University of London, and the Ismaili Tariqah and Religious Education Boards (ITREBs) of five participating countries.
The STEP aims to develop an international community of qualified religious education teachers who will deliver the Institute’s secondary curriculum throughout the worldwide Ismaili Muslim community. The programme is being piloted in six regions: Toronto and Vancouver, Canada; Mumbai, India; Karachi, Pakistan; Khorog, Tajikistan; and Houston, USA.
