As many as 300,000 teachers from all over Pakistan successfully completed the professional development programme that enables educators to effectively integrate technology into their lessons to promote problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration skills among their students. The professional development programme was organised by Intel. Commenting on the successful training of Pakistani Teachers under the Intel Teach Initiative, Intel Pakistan, Country Manager, Naveed Siraj, said, We invest in teachers so that they will inspire our students to be innovative, creative and prepared with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are imperative to our future. While we celebrate reaching the figure of 300,000 in Pakistan and 10 million teachers globally through Intel Teach, we continue to focus on developing the next generation by improving the quality of educational opportunities.
Globally Intel has trained 10 million teachers under the Intel Teach Initiative. Intel Teach started as a simple idea, in which education is centred on student learning through project-based experiences instead of lecture and memorisation.
