British Council Launches Teacher Training for 30,000 Educators in Sindh

Sindh takes a bold move forward in education. Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah starts the second phase of a key program. He teams up with the British Council for this. The goal? Train 30,000 new teachers who work with young kids and primary students.

This program, called EaSTE-II, builds on the first phase. It also trains 1,000 mentors and 35 course leaders. Everyone gets better skills to teach English well.

Why This British Council Teacher Training in Sindh Matters

Education drives change, says the Chief Minister. He calls this a big win for Sindh. Teachers gain confidence right from the start of their jobs. They learn professional ways to grow over time.

The program fits Sindh’s plans for teacher growth. It follows the 2022 model for ongoing learning. It also matches the 2024 policy on early childhood care and basic learning. This makes sure reforms happen across the province.

Focus on English and Global Doors

English opens new paths. It helps with tech, research, and jobs around the world. But local languages like Sindhi and Urdu stay important too. The Chief Minister stresses this balance.

The training puts women teachers first. It also helps those from minority groups and people with disabilities. In the end, nearly two million kids in public schools will benefit. Better teachers mean brighter futures for these children.

Modern Ways to Train Teachers

The program uses smart methods. Teachers learn through online modules they do on their own. They join mixed classes, both in person and online. Peer groups help them share ideas.

Sindh’s teachers earn praise from UNESCO. They mix AI with old teaching styles. This makes them creative. The Chief Minister says this is what 21st-century education needs.

Leaders Share Their Views

Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah speaks up. He says good language skills help in all subjects. English is more than a class—it’s a way to think and share ideas. This program unlocks learning in every room.

James Hampson from the British Council explains. EaSTE is an online course to build English skills for teachers. It strengthens their work in class.

Thanks and a Bright Future

The event happens at CM House. Guests include British Deputy High Commissioner Lance Domm and others. The Chief Minister thanks the British Council and UK government.

He ends with hope. This is not just for teachers it’s for Sindh’s tomorrow. Investments like this build a stronger province.
