            Have you noticed how in a still pool of water, even a gentle fall of a leaf causes ripples? Our professional development, although subtle in its approach is causing ripples at various levels of our Education system. FCE is a lead Teacher Education institution, given an exposure of international level by the government, it can reach the standard of international organization International perspective is very important because things are becoming more globalized. We should focus on developing a national development strategy and link it up to international agenda to ensure sustainability.

Position: (13-8-2011 to 4-9-2014)
Categories: History

“I was among the pioneer faculty members of the Federal College of Education (FCE). After my Master’s Degree in Pakistan Studies from Quaid i Azam University Islamabad, I got selected as a top candidate through FPSC to join FCE Islamabad in 1982 as a lecturer (BPS-17). At that time the FCE was basically a Teachers Training Institute. During my career with FCE, I held various Administrative and Academic positions with 100% results. I organized and participated in various National and International Curriculum Development Workshops and Seminars. I remained an active member of the teaching faculty to broaden the canvas of Teachers Training programs (both pre-service and in-service training) at the FCE. Later, we were able to get the college affiliated with the Punjab University for the BEd, BSEd, MEd, and MA Education Programs. I have the singular honor to become the first thorough-bred staff member to rise to the post of Director FCE in (BPS 20) in 2011 for a complete term of three years, which obviously remains a wish for anyone joining the college as a lecturer. Previously the College used to have its Directors appointed from outside departments/institutions. However, now the college has its own sanctioned post of Director FCE. During my tenure as Director FCE, I was able to get a maximum number of promotions of the teaching and non- teaching staff. With my endeavors, BSEd (Hons) programs were also started at the college. I also hope that FCE will soon become Education University in the country. I owe all my Professional Achievements to the FCE, enabling me to head this prestigious institution. I extend my best wishes and pray that the FCE prospers with each passing day and keep serving the honorable teaching profession in the country.”
