  • 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.

  • Program of Studies – Message from the Principal
    Program of Studies 2017-2018 Program of Studies – Message from the Principal Dear LAS Student, Our goals of the secondary program at Lahore American School are twofold. The first goal is for you, the student, to receive acceptance letters from the universities to which you apply. However this is just the beginning. Our second goal is for you to successfully complete the course of study at the university you decide to attend. In order to receive those acceptance letters you must accomplish five important things. You must write a solid college application essay You need strong letters of recommendation from your teachers and counselor. You must have good scores in your standardized testing such as the SAT. You need to show leadership in activities, athletics, organizations, and projects. You must demonstrate a commitment to learning and stretch yourself academically in a rigorous academic program The Lahore American School’s Program of Studies is designed to provide each student with a rigorous program that will accomplish the two goals. Firstly, it will show admissions officials at your selected universities that you have challenged yourself academically. Secondly, by successfully completing a rigorous academic program, you are academically prepared for the challenges of university study. The descriptions provided in this document will help you answer the following important questions: Am I choosing courses that are appropriate for my abilities, interests and career plans? Am I choosing courses that will challenge my abilities? Am I choosing courses that fulfill LAS graduation requirements? Am I choosing courses that qualify me for the universities I wish to attend? Am I choosing a program of study that allows time for extra-curricular activities? It is important to remember to seek information from a variety of sources.
