Aga Khan Education Services
The Ismaili Imamat has a long tradition of leadership in educational development. The foundations of the present system were laid by Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan, III, who established over 200 schools during the first half of the 20th century, the first one in 1905 in Zanzibar.
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, Uganda, Tanzania, and Tajikistan.
Programmes to improve educational quality have been built into the AKES system since the early 1980s. Field-based teacher training was launched in Pakistan’s Northern Areas in 1983. School improvement experiments began at the same time in Sindh province in Pakistan, where AKES introduced child-centred teaching methods, and in Tanzania, where new techniques for secondary school teaching in English, mathematics, and science were implemented in Dar es Salaam. AKES, Kenya has been the Development Network pioneer in the use of computers in the classroom, while many Network initiatives in pre-school education began in AKES, India.
