KARACHI: Teaching is a profession that needs knowledge, experience and the willingness to learn more, said principal of the Habib Girls School, Nargis Alavi, explaining why experience without learning anything new is useless.
Alavi was one of four panelists at a discussion held on the ‘Impact of Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers’ Training’ at the First Principals’ Conference organised by the Aga Khan University-Examination Board (AKU-EB) in partnership with the Oxford University Press (OUP) on Thursday.
Aimed at exploring innovative solutions to improve the quality of education and assessments in schools, AKU-EB director, Dr Shehzad Jeeva, shared that principal’s conference brought together over 400 educators, principals and heads from 140 schools across Pakistan on a single platform to collaborate, learn and excel at the one-day conference.
“This platform is meant to challenge conventional patterns, while we debate to derive the best practices for some of the most crucial sides of our education system,” Jeeva explained. He also pointed out that there is so much to be learned from others and their experiences, such as assessments, curriculum, teaching, and learning practices.
