Director General Basic Education and Community Schools (BECS) Hameed Khan Niazi has inaugurated the first-ever Continuous Professional Development (CPD) teachers’ training programme at the tehsil level in Gilgit-Baltistan, marking a significant step towards strengthening the quality of education in some of Pakistan’s most remote communities.<\/p>\n
The CPD initiative, scheduled from July 7 to 23, 2026, aims to enhance teachers’ professional skills by bringing structured training directly to the grassroots level, eliminating the need for long-distance travel.<\/p>\n
Under the programme, 776 teachers will undergo intensive three-day Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training through 24 training centres established across Gilgit-Baltistan, covering all major districts and tehsils.<\/p>\n
The first phase from July 7-9, covers 263 teachers through eight centres in Shigar, Skardu, Kharmang and Astore. The second phase, from July 14-16, will train 255 teachers at eight centres across Ghizer, Ghanche and Diamer, while the third phase, from July 21-23, will benefit 258 teachers through eight centres in Gilgit, Hunza and Nagar.<\/p>\n
Officials said the programme reflects BECS’ commitment to decentralising Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and ensuring educators serving remote and mountainous areas receive modern teaching methodologies and classroom management skills closer to their workplaces.<\/p>\n
The training focuses on improving instructional practices, classroom management, student engagement and learning outcomes to further strengthen the quality of education in BECS schools across Gilgit-Baltistan.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the occasion, Director General Hameed Khan Niazi said the launch of the first-ever tehsil-level CPD programme demonstrates BECS’ commitment to investing in teachers’ professional growth and improving learning standards. He said quality education begins with well-trained teachers, and the initiative will help build a stronger and more effective education system in underserved areas.<\/p>\n
DG expressed confidence that the programme will significantly improve classroom practices, strengthen institutional capacity and contribute to better educational outcomes across Gilgit-Baltistan. He described the initiative as a milestone in BECS’ efforts to provide equal professional development opportunities to teachers working in remote regions and to promote inclusive, equitable and quality education throughout the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
