QAT Result,100%........What should a school owner/Principal do?

Punjab education Foundation is playing a key role in promoting educational standard and  literacy rate in Punjab,the major and the most populated province of Pakistan.It promotes quality education through public-private partnership.It provides technical and financial support to the schools of private sector.This institution is really a blessing for the underprivileged children.  PEF is playing its role as excellent as possible. On the other end the partner private schools should also play their role excellently. PEF conducts QAT Exams once a year.Now a days these exams are in progress in various districts of Punjab.If a partner school fails in QAT exam,its payment is not released and the system collapses. The owners of PEF patrner schools try their best to adopt every possible way to get through QAT. As a school owner or principal,if they keep the following points in practice,they will never have to suffer the failure:

Appointment of Teaching Staff

While appointing the teaching staff,you should keep in mind the milestone you have to reach i.e. QAT. The best managerial skill is to appoint the right person for the right job.During my visits in various districts of Punjab,I observed that mostly the teachers in PEF partner schools are not fit for the job they are doing.While appointing a teacher,kindly keep these points in view:
i) If the teacher has full command over the subject matter?
ii) If he/she has core competencies for teachers?
iii) Has he/she full command over Grammar and Composition if he/she is a language teacher?
iv) Does he/she know about QAT pattern and Structure?
v)If he/she has awareness about SLO's based teaching?
vi) If he/she knows about Standars,Benchmarks and SLO's of our National Curriculum?
vii) Can he/she tell the name of any teaching method other than lecture method?
viii)Does he/she know about Lesson Planning?
ix ) Does he/she know about the tools and evaluation methods being used in most of our exams?
x )Does he/she know about the components of our curriculum?

If the answer to the questions given above are satisfactory, then don,t let him/her go.In future he/she may prove an asset for your institution.If he/she fails to provide the the answers , never make a mistake to appoint that person as a teacher as he/she will never help you to achieve your goal.   

'What should I do if if I don't find the kind of teachers you recommend?'

The question will definitely arise as I know  the condition of areas where most of the PEF partner schools are located.The answer is simple.Make the available staff skillful  and competent. In the next Post we will discuss about ways that are helpful in grooming the available teaching staff.
