Transforming Schools in Pakistan

Towards the Learning Community

Edición de la obra Transforming schools in Pakistan

"This book aims to answer a very pertinent question: is it possible to improve the quality of school education in Pakistan and other developing countries? The book argues that it is possible, and endeavours to point the way forward." "The crux of the argument is that schools need to be transformed into learning communities if significant improvement is to take place. In a traditional school, only students are considered learners, and most learning is by rote, with little or no understanding." "The idea of a learning community is a vision of a good school. This book outlines the vision, and suggests ways in which schools might undertake the journey towards that vision."--BOOK JACKET.
