While 150 Affiliated Schools across the
nation enjoy the transformation from a teacher centric to a learner
centric environment in their classrooms, AKU-EB has continued its
efforts especially to serve and bring along schools in the tough and
remote regions such as Gilgit-Baltistan, Chitral and Skardu.
As part of the same philosophy, AKU-EB recently conducted an AKU-EB Connect* event in Skardu which was attended by 86 participants including faculty from 16 schools in the city, academic managers, and parents.
The schools in attendance were very eager to learn more about how joining AKU-EB in its mission would help them grow and eventually help improve the standard of education and assessment in their classrooms.

The participants at AKU-EB Connect
appreciated AKU-EB’s innovative approach to assessments. The head of
Candela School Skardu, Brig (R) Zakir said, “I have found AKU-EB’s
approach to be very relevant to our present and future requirements.
Although schools will have to work harder with AKU-EB but the (quality
of) learning will build the future for our students.”
Through presentation and discussion, the participants learned about:
- the new advanced methods in teaching and assessment;
- how AKU-EB’s Middle School Assessment Framework (MSAF) is helpful in laying the foundation of learning and can develop new competencies in students at a very young age;
- how a thoughtful and systematic syllabus design and unique paper pattern of AKU-EB can dramatically impact students’ learning outcomes;
- how the professional trainings, performance feedback and close coordination from AKU-EB can help their school grow and stand out from the rest;how AKU-EB’s unique approach to teaching and assessment has helped alumni achieve their goals by obtaining admissions to the top universities nationally and internationally; and more
Sharing her views about the event, Mrs.
Maryam Asim, Director Academics of Pepperdine School System, Skardu
said, “It is very interesting that AKU-EB provides extensive support to
help improve the learning process in schools. We will certainly apply
for MSAF this year and go for affiliation at SSC level in 2014.”
AKU-EB Connect is a type of event that is
conducted for schools especially interested in learning more about the
benefits of joining AKU-EB in its mission to help improve the quality of
education in Pakistan.
