ECE course development workshop opens at AIOU

Islamabad
The Early Childhood Education (ECE) Course Development Workshop opened at Allama Iqbal Open University, says a press release.
The workshop is being organised by Parwaan E9 National Centre of Excellence in collaboration with the Early Childhood and Elementary Teachers Department of Allama Iqbal University.
More than 30 course writers and reviewers from Department of Education of Universities from Karachi, Lahore, Sargodha, Gujrat, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi and Islamabad and experts from organisations working on early years are attending this workshop to develop course books on Early Childhood Education for the future teachers.
The course development and review workshops are important as the course is developed by academicians, who do not have link with the fieldwork. When a unit is written it is done in isolation. With the review we try to make it more practical. ECE programme is not new, but our target audience is unique as we provide education at their doorsteps and whatever we develop for them has to be self- sufficient. These views were expressed by Chairman of Department of Early Childhood & Elementary Teacher’s Education Professor Dr. Nasir Mahmood while talking to the authors and reviewers of the workshop.
