A four-day teachers training workshop was arranged at Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB), I-10/1, says a press release.
The workshop was aimed at upgrading the teaching practices and quality of education to the latest standards. It was attended by 44 lady teachers of the Junior Section. Seven training sessions on different topics were held for which learned and well-known resource persons/teacher trainers were invited from the length and breadth of the education system of Islamabad Capital Territory.

During their sessions, the resource persons illuminated the audience how they could incorporate the latest instructional techniques in their teaching work to improve learning outcomes.
They especially emphasised the fact that student-centered and interactive methods of teaching had produced far better results and there was a need to bring them into the classrooms of our public sector institutions.
The whole activity was arranged indigenously without any support or resources from outside under the visionary leadership of the principal, Prof. Dr. Ali Ahmad Kharal, ex-director general, FDE. The headmistress, Nighat Khalid, remarked that it was a rare thing for public sector institutions and a golden opportunity for young teachers to learn the ropes.
