Each day of the programme explored a critical theme in contemporary education:
- Day 1 – “Why I Am a Teacher” (Prof. Abbas Hussain): A powerful session on the moral and societal purpose of teaching, inspiring reflection and renewed commitment.
- Day 2 – Effective Lesson Planning (Ms. Huma Thaver): Practical strategies for crafting engaging and learner-centered lessons.

The programme drew participation from over 30 male and female educators (SST/TGT/EST) from various FGEIs institutions across the Karachi Region. Their enthusiastic engagement reflected their passion for personal growth and their commitment to delivering high-quality education.
The PAA extends sincere gratitude to Rotary International District 3271 for its generous sponsorship and steadfast support of educational and community development. Their visionary backing is instrumental in realizing PAA’s mission of nurturing future-ready learners.
INSET 2025 stands as a pivotal milestone in strengthening our schools’ academic foundation. By investing in the continuous professional development of our teachers, we are sowing the seeds for generations of empowered, innovative, and inspired students.
