The Sindh Government and British Council Pakistan have signed an MoU to train 30,000 teachers under the EaSTE program aimed at improving language education in schools.
The “English as a Subject for Teachers and Educators” (EaSTE) program will train primary and early childhood teachers in English, Urdu, and Sindhi using digital platforms to improve learning.
Out of the 30,000 participants, 1,000 teachers will become mentors, each responsible for training 30 others. The digital model ensures training access across Sindh, including remote districts.
The agreement was signed by Sindh’s Secretary of Education and British Council Pakistan Country Director James Hampson. The event was chaired by Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah and Helen Silvester.
Minister Shah highlighted that Sindh is already recruiting 75,000 new teachers to fix staffing shortages. “The next phase is capacity building through professional training and teacher exchanges,” he added.
The program aims to broaden teachers’ perspectives and raise language teaching standards through collaborative learning and exposure to global best practices. Officials including Dr. Junaid Samo, Dr. Fauzia Khan, Rabia Malik, and Syed Rasool Bux Shah attended the event, emphasizing unified efforts to improve education.
