KARACHI: A confident Waseela Aurangzeb writes on a whiteboard about glycolysis, a process by which body cells break down glucose. One by one, her peers begin to debate, arguing and correcting her.
“When my sister was in school, her teacher never allowed her to have discussions. She would simply memorise what was in the textbook,” says Aurangzeb. She is happy that her study isn’t based on rote-learning, but on research and clear concepts. Other girls in the class nod in agreement.
A teacher stands in the back of the classroom, smiling. This scene from a biology class is mirrored in several schools where the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) is being followed, which emphasises teaching through interactive sessions.
