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.
