Degree:
PhD
Thesis:
Capability development: A sociological study of languages in education in
Pakistan. The study was a strand of DFID funded international collaborative project
undertaken by RECOUP (Research Consortium on Educational Outcomes for Poverty)
spearheaded by Cambridge University. The focus of the project was to evaluate progression
towards the achievement of millennium objectives related to education and poverty
alleviation in four countries: Pakistan, Ghana, Kenya and India. Of fundamental interest to
my study was the sociological impact of the provision of languages in education in private
and government schools in Pakistan, within the context of the given national language
policy. Results of this in-depth qualitative research conducted in Karachi (Sindh) and
Lahore (Punjab) revealed the implication of the current language policy and language-based
practices in not only inhibited the social mobility of the disadvantaged, but also affected
their physical, cognitive, emotional and social wellbeing. The project was a unique
opportunity to work along with educationists, anthropologists, economists, sociologists,
NGOs and research organizations to evaluate and understand the outcomes of education and
multiple manifestations of poverty that affected the achievement of millennium objectives.

____________________________________________________________________
Have been able very successful in generating collaborative effort and leading
colleagues towards the achievement of departmental and institutional goals. Formally,
started from heading a branch of Lahore Lyceum. Was able to transform this branch
into a model for all the other branches of Lahore Lyceum and was able to bring forth
a high degree of motivation and commitment from the faculty. After six months was
promoted to be the Head of all the fourteen branches of Lahore Lyceum in Punjab.
Was responsible for teacher training, curriculum design, centralized academic policies
along with managing the Main Branch, which had a strength of 450 students and a
faculty of 40 teachers. As such arranged for several teacher training opportunities,
revised the curriculum, added extracurricular activities, introduced thematic teaching
3
into the school system, and made presentations and research work a regular feature of
the school life. Introduced a new testing system that helped in formative assessment
by the teachers to inculcate study habit in the students. And identify gaps in their
learning. Developed links with the British Council for the ICT Programme and that
made Lahore Lyceum the first school in Punjab to have an ICT Programme affiliated
with The British Council. Invited guest lectures and arranged seminars. At AKU
successfully coordinated the Employee programme ( more than forty courses offered
to the Employees) in the absence of the coordinator and assisted in budget and
planning for almost one year. Then moved on to coordinate the English programme at
School of Nursing (SON). Conducted curriculum retreats for English courses offered
at SON. This was the first time that these retreats were conducted. Streamlined the
procedures, ensured collective lesson planning. introduced reflective practice in
lesson planning meetings and marking retreats. Ensured quality of the tests made by
getting them reviewed by the Testing Committee. Student Assessment cards were
made and the student data was computerized for the first time, for future reference.
Evaluations were regularized to guide teaching practices and action plans were made.
Led a comprehensive needs analysis for the curriculum review of English courses.
This was the first time in ten years that a Needs analysis was conducted at SON. This
study was undertaken both at the SON and AKUH. All the stake holders were
approached and different perspectives explored. On the basis of these results the
entire English curriculum for SON was reviewed and made relevant to the needs of
the nursing students.
AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY

Coordinator SON English Programme (June 2003 to date)
SON English Programme is one of the major programmes of CEL. The
responsibilities included monitoring the smooth running and quality of the courses,
offered to Track I, Orientation, Diploma Year I, II & III; BScN Year I, II, III & IV
along with Post RN Year I & II, MScN and Language Enrichment Programme for
international students. This also included looking into administrative issues. In this
capacity achieved:
New English BScN Curriculum for HEC (2006)
This course after being approved by HEC was expected to be adopted at
national level.
Revision of curriculum (2004)
• Reviewed the entire English curriculum for SON Programmes to make it relevant
to academic and professional needs of the nursing students. All the courses were
revisited, in the light of the needs analysis and significant amendments were made
for optimum benefit to the learners.
Needs Analysis for Curriculum Review (2003-2004)
Completed a comprehensive needs analysis at SON and AKUH to determine the
English language needs in the nursing discipline. This helped in restructuring the
4
English language courses offered to the student nurses.
CEL retreats for review and planning of SON English Language Courses
• Introduced conduction of biannual CEL retreats for the English courses offered to
SON. This was a highly beneficial exercise involving reflection and feedback.
Student Assessment Cards
Revised the student assessment cards for AKUSON students and computerized
the system with the help of the online team. This would be extremely useful for
future reference to a student’s progress in achieving English language proficiency.
This was the first time that the system was operationalized.
Collaborative lesson planning and reflection
• Ensured that lesson planning was done well ahead before its implementation.
Introduced lesson planning meetings in which the success of the previous lesson
plans was reflected upon and new were made together by the faculty involved.
This automatically brought in peer review of the lesson plans and enhanced the
quality of the courses.
Testing in SON English Courses
Streamlined the testing system by ensuring that all tests made would be reviewed
by the CEL Testing Committee. This ensured timely preparation of the tests as
well as peer reviewed work. Ensured administration of pre-course test on all

all AKUSON students and that would be followed by Post course tests every year.
The system put in place would now make it possible to trace the English language
progress of the students.
Marking Retreats
• For the first time, the marking of papers was organized by introducing marking
retreats, in which papers of all the groups belonging to a specific year were
checked together by the concerned faculty. This was to address subjectivity in the
marking of papers. The additional benefit was the timely preparation of results, so
a major complaint by SON was addressed.
Monitoring of the Programme
A system was operationalized by which all course coordinators within the SON
programme met with their faculty on fortnightly basis for reflection,
identification of issues and future actions. Updates from these meetings were
requested. Personally maintained a close monitoring of all the courses by holding
regular meetings with the coordinators and the faculty.

Social Structures, Exclusion and Education in Rural Punjab (2013): This funded research
is currently underway in collaboration with the Lahore School of Economics and the World
Bank explores the role of social structures and exclusion in shaping the educational
opportunity for those marginalized. This qualitative research is a household based study
interested in decision making regarding schooling as affected by the social positioning of the
families and the range of effective opportunities open to them. The research undertaken in the
districts of Chakwal, Bhawalpur and Faisalabad, which lie in the north, south and centre of
Punjab, Pakistan, is now complete. The report is currently being finalized and will be
