For the Full-Time Cohort, this year’s partner organisations include PMIU-PESRP, Akhuwat, Beaconhouse School System, Kawish Welfare Foundation, and Nazarat Taleem Rabwah.

The session was opened by Dr. Tayyaba Tamim, Dean, School of Education, who oriented the partner organisations on the practicum process and what lies ahead over the course of the year.
