  • Teacher Education Policies and Programs in Pakistan
    TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education - Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang Two significant effects of globalization around the world are the decentralization and liberalization of systems, including education services. In 2000, the Pakistani Government brought major higher education liberalization and expansion reforms by encouraging market approaches based on self-financed programs. These approaches have been particularly important in the area of teacher education and development. The Pakistani Government data reports (AEPAM Islamabad) on education show vast growth in market-model off-campus (open and distance) post-baccalaureate teacher education programs in the last fifteen years. Many academics and scholars have criticized traditional off-campus programs for their low quality; new policy reforms in 2009, with the support of USAID, initiated the four-year honors program, with the intention of phasing out all traditional programs by 2018. However, the new policy still allows traditional off-campus market-model programs to be offered. This important policy reform juncture warrants empirical research on the effectiveness of traditional programs to inform current and future policies. Thus, this study focused on assessing the worth of traditional and off-campus programs, and the effects of market approaches, on the implementation of traditional post-baccalaureate teacher education programs offered by public institutions in a southern province of Pakistan.

    2020 Annual Report Wow - this has been quite a year. Our flagship event, the Atlanta Science Festival, was cancelled days after beginning. In the months that have followed, we’ve been living in a strange new reality - considering what the future holds for an organization like ours that relies so much on interaction with the public. One thing we know for sure, however, is that this time period is only heightening the importance of science for our livelihoods, crystallizing the need for the work we do. We are excited to continue thinking creatively about how to share amazing science with the Atlanta metro region, how to inspire people - young and old - to fall in love with science, and how to make sure that everyone has equitable access to science learning opportunities. While coronavirus and social justice are most present on our minds these days, building this annual report was a much needed opportunity to reflect back on the good work Science ATL has done in the community over the past year before our world turned upside down.

Academic choices. Students have four distinct choices to complete their undergraduate education. Oxford College Emory is alone among top research universities in offering two academically equivalent but environmentally distinct options for entering students. Founded in 1836, Emory College began in a small town about thirty-eight miles east of Atlanta. Thanks to the generosity of the Candler family, in 1915 Emory College moved its campus inside the city of Atlanta. The university decided to keep the original campus and while Oxford’s history is rich, today Oxford College is an academically equivalent but environmentally different opportunity for first and second year students. Students may apply to Oxford College to spend their first two years in a small- town/suburban setting.

    Why a Women’s College? By Collegewise counselors (and proud women’s college graduates): Sara Kratzok and Casey Near Copyright © 2016 by Collegewise This edition is designed to be viewed on screen to save trees and to be emailed to fellow students, parents, and counselors. You are given the unlimited right to distribute this guide electronically (via email, your website, or any other means). You can print out pages and put them in your office for your students. You can include the link in a newsletter, send it to parents in your school community, hand it out at an event for students or parents, and generally share it with anyone who is interested. But you may not alter this guide in any way, or charge for it, without written permission from Collegewise. Fifth Edition February 2016 www.collegewise.com A note from the authors In the time since we wrote this guide, women's colleges have been in the news a lot. So, we thought we’d review the latest updates in the world of women’s colleges with some tips on how to consider this news in your college search. The content of the guide hasn’t changed, but we hope this update will help you see women’s colleges in a new light. In March 2013, news broke that Sweet Briar College would be abruptly closing its doors at the end of the academic year. This wasn't the first, nor the only, women's college to close since we wrote this guide, but it captured the media's (and higher education's) attention.
