The Higher Education Development in Pakistan (HEDP) project of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) team conducted a three-day capacity-building workshop for teachers at affiliated colleges in the ICT region.
The workshop was conducted by the Post-secondary Education Reform Unit (PERU) in coordination with the National Academy of Higher Education (NAHE), according to a news release.
The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training and the Federal Directorate of Education had requested training for 70 nominated teachers from associate and graduate colleges in Islamabad. The Undergraduate Education Policy (UEP) 2020 was approved by the HEC and will be implemented in Fall 2023.
The success of a policy depends on the preparedness of teachers, who constitute the foundation of an education system. For successful implementation of UEP, the faculty of higher education institutes must understand it well and be prepared to implement it in letter and spirit. The affiliated colleges are undergoing a transition from an annual system to a semester system under Education Policy 2020.
