About the Pakistani Educational Leadership Project
The Pakistani Educational Leadership Project at Plymouth State University
The Pakistani Educational Leadership Project hosts Pakistani educators who learn about American innovations in education for adaptation in Pakistan. Recognized for their leadership capabilities, the educators represent the secondary level public and public/private sectors and teacher training institutions.
Thanks to funding since 2003 from the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, annual institutes at Plymouth State University have trained 120 educators from throughout Pakistan. They work in the provinces of Baluchistan, North West Frontier, Sindh, and the Punjab; in the earthquake affected area of Azad Jammu Kashmir; and in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Northern Areas, and Islamabad Capital Territory. Upon their return to Pakistan, the Project alumni share their institute knowledge in professional development initiatives. With a shared goal of excellence in education, the Pakistani Educational Leadership Project embodies a dynamic collaboration that crosses boundaries and connects learning communities in New Hampshire and Pakistan.
The Project works closely with Pakistan service provider Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi, the Department of State, and its Pakistani alumni to ensure that the curriculum meets the objectives of Pakistan’s educational initiatives. It focuses on best practices in education and on exemplary models in professional development and pedagogy. The Project and the institute experience also provide opportunities for citizen exchanges that are the essence of life in a democratic society.
According to statistics compiled by ITA, the Project alumni who act as master trainers in Pakistan have trained over 100,000 of their colleagues. As Headmistress Nasreen Bano of Islamabad commented about the Pakistani Project, “It sends out a thousand points of light.” Your continued support of this program will assist the Pakistani Educational Leadership Project at Plymouth State University to affect positive change for thousands of educators, and ultimately students, in Pakistan.

Lofty Claims and Muffled Voices
In response to Mr. Zubair Torwali’s article published on 8th January 2009 in Dawn Newspaper about militants brutal actions in Swat and FATA. Militant groups have declared 15th January, the deadline to close all schools especially girls. As the deadline is approaching towards its end the habitants of these areas are getting more and more petrified.
I ask the question to National and International Developmental Agencies and Human Rights’ Organizations on their positions on this issue? Whilst education is being killed by Militant in Swat and FATA.

Dear All,
I am very grateful to the human rights activists and media persons for the fervor with which my article was received. I am an educator working in the community called Torwali. It lives in Swat Kohistan. We work under an organization with the name of Alif Be Te i.e. Idara Baraye Taleem-o-Taraqi.
Last week I met Dr. BR Raza, the chairperson of Idara Taleem-o-Agahi in Islamabad. We discussed the latest situation in Swat.
