| Description |
Lahore, April 4, 2017 – USAID Mission Director John Groarke inaugurated a new Faculty of Education building today at the Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of Punjab. Dr. Zaffar Mueen Nasar, Vice Chancellor at the University of the Punjab, joined him for the ceremony. Mr. Groarke emphasized the role of education as key to development and human rights in his address to the large gathering of university students and faculty. “The United States Government is investing in quality education because we recognize that progress and quality of life are directly linked to education. And the first step in investing in quality education is investing in teachers. This Faculty of Education building will serve to advance not only the quality of teacher training, but also the development and prosperity of the Punjab” said Mr. Groarke. Dr. Nasar thanked the U.S. Government for its continued support of Pakistan’s education sector. This USAID-funded Faculty of Education building is an energy-efficient, accessible, and earthquake-resistant facility that includes 35,000 square feet of covered area, 12 classrooms, a multi-purpose hall, a learning resource center, laboratories, a seminar room, and office space for faculty. The University of the Punjab in Lahore is one of 17 universities in Pakistan where USAID has invested $45 million in constructing Faculty of Education buildings to help attract the best and the brightest to the teaching profession in Pakistan. The Institute of Education and Research at the University of the Punjab is one of 111 teacher training institutes working with the USAID/Pakistan Reading Project to train aspiring teachers through the Associates and Bachelor’s Degree in Education programs. During his day-long visit to Lahore, Mr. Groarke also met with the students and faculty of the University of the Punjab and the Chairman of Punjab’s Higher Education Commission. |
