Sindh Institute of Teacher Education
Advancing Equitable, High-Quality Public Education in Pakistan
The application prerequisites are as follows:
The programme is currently offered by a women’s only college.
Applicants must be under the age of 40 to apply for the Bachelor of Education degree program.
All reading materials will be assigned in soft copy and students may print these at their own expense. All other course handouts etc. will be provided to the students free of cost. Some courses may require the purchase of textbooks though this will rarely be the case.
All admitted students sign a 7-year agreement with SITE, in which SITE commits to fully subsidize a student’s 4-year degree program and in turn, students commit to teaching for 3 years in a Durbeen-assigned government school. However, to avail this opportunity, students must graduate with a CGPA of at least 2.6 / 4.0.
These government schools will be privately managed and will provide teachers with a safe and supportive environment in which to implement all the skills they have learnt in the B.Ed. program.
However, if teachers pass the Sindh Teaching License exam soon after graduation and become Grade 16 government teachers, the mandatory remaining three-year teaching service period will be waived, and their contract at the government school where they are posted will be terminated.
