DEPARTMENT OF TEACHER EDUCATION

UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI

INTRODUCTION:

Education is a vital investment for human and economic development and is influenced by the environment within which it exists. Changes in technology, labour market patterns and general global environment, all require policy responses. Traditions, culture and faith all reflect upon the education system and at the same time are also affected by them. The element of continuity and change remains perpetual and it is up to the society to determine its pace and direction. National Education Assessment System (NEAS) points to significant quality deficits and confirms the widespread perception of the low quality of Pakistan’s education. Improving quality requires action in the areas of teacher quality, curriculum and pedagogy, textbooks, assessment approaches, and in learning environment and facilities. Teacher quality and leadership at school are believed to be the more important factors. Most of the inputs in the system have an impact on quality. However, there are five- six basic pillars that have the major contribution. These are curriculum, textbooks, assessments, teachers, the learning environment in an institution and relevance of education to practical life/ labour market. While Elementary and Secondary schooling is facing many deficiencies in each of the input areas that would need to be improved; the most significant action is required in improving the teaching resources and the pedagogical approaches teachers employ. The reform of teaching quality is of the highest priority. Keeping in view the current state of affairs, Department of Teacher Education was established with the following agenda.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The Department of Teacher Education develops educators’ abilities in teaching, learning and research.

VISION STATEMENT:

To be a leading teacher education department in Pakistan, our vision is to develop human capital through quality teaching and research practices catering to the intellectual needs of the community of learners.

VALUES STATEMENT:

The Department of Teacher Education believes in mutual respect, non-discrimination and transparency through promoting culture of openness and sharing.
