Pakistani Educational Leadership Project at Plymouth State University

In Islamabad, a debriefing took place for Pakistani delegates who are participating in the U.S. Department of State funded Pakistani Educational Leadership Project. They just completed its U.S. component – a summer institute housed at Plymouth State University.

The meeting was hosted at Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi’s (ITA) office in Islamabad on 25th Sept 2010. It was chaired by Ms. Beena Raza, Advisor to the Pakistani Educational Leadership Project. The group discussed the project in detail, including cultural & academic learning.

Mr. Brent Beemer, Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy, Islamabad, joined the delegates. Another honored guest was Mr. Fazle Manan, Director of Education, FATA. Mr. Beemer was very positive about the Project, highlighting the extraordinary length of time the program had run as proof of its success.

Congratulations from the Pakistani Educational Leadership Project to Angie Miller, New Hampshire Teacher of the Year. Please see further information at www.plymouth.edu. Angie was a volunteer during the July 2009 institute and shared her energy and passion for education with the 2009 delegates.  After the institute, she continued to share her passion for opening up worlds through more linkages between New Hampshire and Pakistan. Angie engaged her Holderness Central School students  in a dynamic fund raising initiative for the Central Asia Institute’s “Three Cups of Tea” schools.  Congratulations to Angie for providing such  rich multi-faceted learning experiences for her students and the community.
