Strengthening teaching beyond the Academies

“The vision of the Academies is to share what they have in terms of expertise, skills and resources with the surrounding communities,” explains Rupen Chande, Outreach Manager at the Aga Khan Academies. The Academies aim to support the national education systems where they are located by strengthening the quality of teaching and school leadership in government and other private schools. Each Academy includes a Professional Development Centre (PDC), with an explicit focus on outreach education. Recent activity at the PDCs highlights the scope of outreach efforts being undertaken by the Aga Khan Academies across the education spectrum.
