ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION
FOR IN-SERVICE TEACHERS - YEAR 2013
Department of Professional Studies in Education
Institute of Education, Lahore College for Women University
The Associate Degree in Education (ADE) for In-service Teachers is designed for practicing teachers to enhance their content and pedagogical knowledge and skills. Although most of the universities and degree awarding institutions (DAIs) across Pakistan have successfully introduced the Associate Degree in Education for Pre-service Teachers, 300,000 practicing teachers in elementary schools remain inadequately prepared or under-qualified. Furthermore, beginning in 2018, the career progression opportunities for most of these in-service teachers will be closed as the ADE or B.Ed. degrees will be mandatory for induction and promotion. Therefore, it is critical to open new avenues for professional development and career advancement for practicing teachers. The vision of bringing about a country-wide qualitative change in education can only become a reality if these large numbers of elementary level teachers are initiated into the newly envisaged education system. The ADE for In-service Teachers is an important step in realizing this vision.
