Transforming education – one teacher at a time

What does it take to improve an education system? The Professional Development Centres at the Aga Khan Academies are determining the answer to this question – one teacher at a time. To date, professional development programmes at the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa have reached 1,688 teachers in the coastal areas of Kenya and, through them, more than 200,000 students – changing the way teachers teach and students learn.
