EDUCATION FOR GIRLS


AKDN's Involvement in Education

Introduction

The AKDN's education programmes cover a wide spectrum of activities ranging from early childhood development through to a variety of tertiary degrees, including medicine, nursing, educationand Islamic studies. The Aga Khan Education Services, the Aga Khan Foundation, Aga Khan University, the Aga Khan Academies and the University of Central Asia are the lead organisations in education, but all institutions are involved in some form of training or education, whether it is through curriculum reform, exhibitions of Islamic art or literacy programmes for employees of economic project companies. School improvement programmes and the professional development of teachers and administrators play a central role in strategies designed to improve access -- with a special emphasis on girls -- and raise retention rates and overall achievement. Others address cross-cultural understanding in North America and Central Asia through curriculum design. All programmes, including their research components, strive for excellence in design and implementation and relevance to developing world contexts.
