A professional path for female intermediate students in Karachi has been developed by well-known musician and humanitarian Shehzad Roy.
He offers them a job chance through his non-profit organisation (NGO), Durbeen, and encourages them to earn a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree from the Government Elementary College of Education (GECE).
Graduates from his programme will be eligible for government teaching positions in Durbeen-adopted schools.
By completing the teacher licencing exam, this position can eventually be transformed into a government teaching position for grades 6 through 16.
These grads will start up making around what a banker or lawyer makes. By July 8, prospective pupils can submit an application for admission to the school.
The Sindh government approved the teachers’ licence policy last month in an effort to give instructors access to professional development opportunities.
For primary, elementary, and secondary teachers, the policy contains three different licence categories.
After passing the licencing test, new instructors will be granted a licence good for five years and renewable thereafter.
The 700 new teaching positions will be filled with licences, and the hired teachers will be assigned to grade BS-16.
Experts from organisations like the Aga Khan Board and Durbeen are creating the policy. Promotions for teachers will require a licence.
