Professional Development Program for Teachers Kicks Off in Nokundi
The PAN office in Nokundi is conducting a 15-day professional development training. Reko Diq Mining Company (RDMC) organises the program in collaboration. It aims to enhance the professional capacity of teachers. The training is led by master trainers from the Provincial Institute of Teacher Education (PITE), Quetta. The focus is on aligning teaching methods with global standards.

The first session centred on ECE and the innovative approach to early childhood teaching strategies. Teachers were equipped with various concepts and methods that built on hands-on instruction to encourage active learning. These training sessions utilize multidimensional strategies for professional growth and development.

As one local press release reported, this move is another step in the endeavour of RDMC to improve the scope of education in the region. The program seeks to improve the quality of education in the PAN schools that cater to the population in Chaghi, Noshki, and nearby districts by providing the teachers with the right teaching aids.

The program’s structured curriculum is expected to transform classroom dynamics and promote an enriched learning environment for students. Participants will have the chance to deepen their understanding of child development and practical teaching strategies that meet local needs. Following the training, a chosen group of 10 teachers will travel to the Aga Khan University in Karachi for advanced training. They will become master trainers there. These educators will then be essential in sharing their knowledge with other teachers in their districts. It fosters a sustainable model of professional development.

This initiative highlights the joint effort of RDMC and PAN to promote educational excellence. Moreover, it emphasises the value of teacher training programs in transforming students’ lives. Through these programs, participants will gain a deeper understanding of child development issues. In addition, they will acquire practical teaching skills tailored to the local context.
