‘Primary teacher education in rural Sindh can benefit from mentoring’

School-based mentoring can be used to transform teaching and learning practices in science classrooms in Pakistan, particularly in the rural areas of Sindh, said Prof Nelofer Halai, while speaking on 25 January at the launch of her book, Enhancing Primary Science Teaching Through School-Based Mentors. Nelofer Halai, Professor of science education at Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED), said that the purpose of writing this book was to add to the literature on teacher education in Pakistan and to advocate for mentoring as a way to improve teaching in the context of not only science but for other subjects as well.
