This reflects both the City School’s recognition of the need for high quality teacher training at a national level and the strategic commitment by the University of Cambridge to contribute to excellence in all phases of education internationally.
A Centre for Educational Professional Development (CEPD) is being introduced and launched in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Each CEPD is to be run by a team of teacher educators from The City School who will be trained by the education faculty. The centres will offer a complete professional development pathway for teachers and school leaders of The City School across the country.
Courses will include an innovative initial teacher education course designed with the University of Cambridge education faculty, Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications at certificate and diploma levels in teaching and learning, teaching with digital technologies and educational leadership, provided by Cambridge International, bespoke specialist courses offered by Cambridge International and other international training institutes up to Masters level and a range of local needs-based in-service training courses, including language proficiency.
The City School Studies Director Philip Hallworth commented, “We are delighted to be taking teacher and school leadership training to a new level in Pakistan and to be working alongside respected educational experts from Cambridge International and the University of Cambridge.”
The signing ceremony was conducted by board of directors member Aurangzeb Feroz, CI Country Director Uzma Yousaf, chief operating officer Shahzad Khan and Philip Hallworth.
