Role of Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development Punjab in Capacity Building of Teachers
This paper investigates the role of Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development Punjab (QAED) in the capacity building of teachers in three districts of South Punjab, namely Muzaffargarh, Kot Addu, and Rahimyar Khan. The study followed a descriptive methodology involving quantitative analysis to gather perspectives from government school teachers. A sample of 1189 respondents was obtained from a total of 1350 questionnaires distributed among male and female teachers working in government primary and elementary schools. The study focused on both primary and middle schools. Overall, this research paper provides empirical evidence of the Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development's positive effects on strengthening teaching abilities in government primary and elementary schools in the selected districts of south Punjab. The findings of this study have important implications for educational policymakers and practitioners because they highlight the importance of funding programmes for teachers' professional development.
