“Teachers are an agent of change and they can play a vital role in transforming students.

Author of more than 200 articles and 30 books
KARACHI: To improve your education system, you don’t need to follow America or Europe but to find role models that lie within you, said University of Winconsin-Madison’s Tom Popkewitz.
The professor of curriculum and instructions at the varsity’s school of education was talking via Skype to a group of students and teachers at Aga Khan University-Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED). The institute had organised the talk in collaboration with ILM ideas with Popkewitz, for their Kazim Bucchus Research Seminar lecture series on Friday.
