Shehzad Roy, a singer, and philanthropist, introduces a career path for female students in Karachi. The aim is to empower them and address the shortage of teachers. Students can pursue a B.Ed. degree from Government Elementary College of Education (GECE) supported by Roy’s NGO, Durbeen. Graduates are guaranteed teaching positions in Durbeen-adopted schools. The initiative raises teaching positions to prestigious grade-16 government posts, with higher prospects and salaries. Students can apply to GECE before the July 8 deadline for a stable and growth-oriented career in education.
The Sindh government’s approval of the teachers’ license policy enables educational reform. The policy includes licenses for primary, elementary, and secondary teachers. Aspiring teachers must pass the licensing test to obtain a five-year license, leading to grade BS-16 placements and filling teaching vacancies.
Renowned institutions like Aga Khan Board and Durbeen collaborated to shape the transformative policy. Obtaining a teaching license becomes crucial for career progression and delivering exceptional education.
Shehzad Roy’s dedication to empowering female students and promoting educational excellence in Karachi shines through. The groundbreaking career path and teacher licensing policy promise a brighter future with knowledgeable educators, flourishing schools, and empowered students.
