New Degrees Pre-STEP Pakistan USAID Program for Teachers


































New Degrees Pre-STEP Pakistan USAID Program for Teachers

Introduction

In keeping with the National Education Policy, Pre-STEP is supporting the Government of Pakistan, provincial Departments of Education and the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in implementing the B. Ed. (Hons.) Elementary to replace the Diploma, CT and PTC teaching credentials.  In the short term, the initial two years (in Punjab the first three years) of the B. Ed. (Hons.) Elementary, will comprise a teaching degree for elementary school teachers called the Associate Degree in Education (ADE).
The new degree is designed to be offered in eight semesters (four semesters for the ADE). This will be a significant change from the annual system followed by colleges and RITEs, and the hybrid annual/semester system followed by some universities.
The new degrees encourage a change in approaches to teaching and learning, away from an over reliance on a teacher-centered lecture method to learner centered, active learning approaches that encourage the development of skills and dispositions for teaching, in addition to knowledge required for teaching. This change also involves a change in the way prospective teachers are assessed. In the new degree, work completed during a course will count towards a final grade at the end of a semester.
Pakistan has a set of 10 national professional standards for teachers. The new degree is designed to help prospective teachers achieve the highest quality of teaching as described by these standards.

Institutions Offering the ADE/B.Ed Degree Program

Provincial Departments of Education and the Higher Education Commission (HEC) with support from Pre-STEP will be offering the ADE/B. Ed. (Hons.) Elementary in forty-six government elementary colleges of education/RITEs and thirteen universities.
