Development Projects

The Primary Education Department is continuously working towards the improvement of Cyprus Primary Education. It aims at the continuous and systematic training of teaching staff, the upgrading and writing of new textbooks that will cater to the needs of the National Curriculum and society in general. There are four types of primary schools in Pakistan – public, private, religious and self-help schools – while both English and Urdu are used as a medium of instruction. The primary education programme is a compulsory four-year programme of schooling (covering grades 1–4) upon completion of which learners attain primary education. This is the first stage of formal education providing a link between pre-primary and primary education. According to the International Standard Classification of Education , primary education is allocated to ISCED level 1.

UOW Bachelor of Primary Education graduates focus on educating the 'whole child' and promote lifelong learning in children. After obtaining the Secondary School Certificate or Matriculation Certificate, students can continue on to upper general secondary education. This chart shows what share of girls among all enrolled secondary education students. In this scatter plot you can compare the gross and net enrollment rate in primary education in countries around the world. The trajectory for Sub-Saharan Africa may look stubbornly flat, but the total number of primary school children out-of-school has fallen by 10 million since the late 1990s.

School experience is assessed in partnership with primary school teachers, Head Teachers and University tutors. As the programme develops, students will be expected to take increasing responsibility for determining and organising their own learning as part of their continuing professional development. This course aims to provide students with opportunities to develop a broad and integrated knowledge of inter-disciplinary learning within the Primary School curriculum. Students will explore research informed approaches to inter disciplinary learning in the primary school, and consider the implications of these approaches for classroom practice and for addressing learner differences. Students will have opportunities to explore some ways of teaching and learning across the primary curriculum that are innovative, inter-disciplinary and inclusive. The focus will be on how to integrate areas to plan meaningful, real world, relevant learning experiences.

In terms of curriculum, this objective suggests an emphasis on reading and writing skills, arithmetic skills, and basic social studies and science. Out of the total enrolment of students from primary to post-secondary level, almost 37% are enrolled at only primary level of education. During recent years, there has been considerable progress in the GER which reached 84% in 2006–07 up from 71% in 2001–02. Similarly, the net enrolment rate also rose from 57% in 2001–02 to 66% in 2006–07. The dropout rate at the primary level has also been controlled through the government's recent education reforms. Despite progress, however, access rates remain low and Pakistan still faces the risk of defaulting on EFA and MDGs 2015 targets.

The special education attainment targets indicate what pupils must be able to do and know at the end of their primary schooling. In the first year of schooling the activities in the everyday school life of the children is carried out by trained pedagogues and teachers and prepares young children for further learning and education. WORK & LIFE EXPERIENCE Students admitted on the basis of previous achievement other than higher education study, vocational education & training, or recent secondary education. Primary Education is the initial stage of education and has as its basic aim to create, establish and offer opportunities to all children, regardless of age, gender or country of origin, to achieve a balanced cognitive, emotional and psychomotor development.

Our programme is subject to constant review both internally, externally and through the GTCS, the professional body that accredits all Initial Teacher Education and with whom you will register after graduation, therefore some details are subject to change. The school draws up an individual development plan for all pupils who receive extra supervision in addition to basic support, describing the educational objectives for that pupil. It indicates the level that the pupil can achieve and the support that he or she will need to achieve it. The second United Nations Millennium Development Goal was to “ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.” This goal was missed but significant progress has been made. In 1970, 28% of primary-school-age children in the world were not attending school, today this share has decline to 9% – equivalent to 60 million children not in primary education as the first visualization below shows. UNICEF’s growing technical capacity and focus on assessment of learning, and international expertise also provides an opportunity to add value to Pakistan’s efforts to improve assessment systems.

More than half of primary-aged children not in school were in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ø From the day one, primary school students are taught how to move in line, raise their hands, and hear a story. Emphasize, in addition to the acquisition of basic skills to literacy, arithmetic and reading; there are other skills that are necessary live happily and usefully both as children and as adults.

A child is expected to commence at the age of 6 or 7 and continue for 7years. The role of federal Ministry of Education is now reduced to assisting provinces with curriculum development, accreditation and R & D. We successfully designed a phone-based monitoring solution for both NGOs that has been effective in verifying new activities and approach as programmes switched back and forth from distance learning to physical learning activities.

They conclude that while economic performance was indeed higher in protestant regions, so too was literacy, which explains the gap in economic performance. In particular, “protestant economies prospered because instruction in reading the Bible generated the human capital crucial to economic prosperity.” For more information on literacy, click here.

It fosters learning process and focus on strategies, which assist students in developing their creative and critical thinking. However, due to the lack of resources, there are no separate teachers for Katchi grades in 95 percent public schools and, thus, no formal Katchi class is taught in most public schools. Provincial governments have recently begun introducing Katchi classes in some public schools as per their provincial education plans, but it is at a rudimentary stage as Katchi is taught in multigrade settings. After completion of the primary-education curriculum, learners acquire primary education. Learning achievements are not assessed in the form of marks during the stage of primary education. In forms 1–4, children are taught by one teacher providing instruction in all subjects.

Investing In Education

There is also a lack of authentic information available about the private sector to determine enrollments and exit as well as the quality of education. The data provided here is based on the last private school census which, in some provinces, took place as far back as 2005. The OER are created with eXeLearning, an authoring tool, so that any teacher can access them to use them directly, but also download them and modify them according to their classroom context.

Students will have the opportunity to build on experience from year one and further develop their understanding of the role of the teacher and the professional commitment necessary to be successful in their professional qualification. At the same time, students will further develop their knowledge and understanding of diversity, children and the communities in which they live. Students will have opportunities to critically engage with contemporary issues in education and to consider implications for schools. Students will develop sensitivity to diversity, ethical practices, and rights and responsibilities whilst beginning to plan and teach the core curricular areas of literacy, numeracy and HWB. This course aims to develop students understanding of the role of an inclusive teacher. It will enable students to learn about children, the communities in which they live and the school and classroom as part of that community.
