Achievements of NISTE

The merger of the Institute for Promotion of Science Education and Training (IPSET) and National Technical Teachers Training College (NTTTC) was carried out and restructured into NISTE, in the light of the cherished role, functions and performance of the two organizations for achieving quality education (science & technical) including in-service training (human resource development) research and development of instructional technology, co-ordination of science and technical education activities at the national and international levels, and popularization of scientific and technical culture in the country. The restructuring of the- two institutes is compact and cohesive and has improved internal efficiency in terms of optimum utilization of equipment, buildings and academic and human resource development programmes and improved external efficiency by bringing science and technical education curricula in-line with labor / job market needs and improved links with industry, sister organizations and other sub-sectors of education.

The NISTE offers regular short and long-term training programmes for in-service teachers/ headmasters/principals of schools and polytechnics. NISTE’s training is meant to develop the trainees’ potential in knowledge, skills and character.

Development of Curriculum for 3-year B.Ed. in Technology for F.Sc. Entry

The course was designed as a post DAE degree programme. But later on, it was thought appropriate to include FSc (pre-engineering) pass candidates for this purpose in addition to curricula, 39 textbooks/Manuals in various disciplines (bridge courses) for B.Ed (Tech) with F.Sc entry qualification developed.

Evaluation of Science Curriculum-2000

Evaluated Science Curriculum-2000, developed by the Punjab Education Department, Lahore; report for improvements submitted to Punjab Education Minister.

Human Resource Development (In-service)

Pakistan Airforce Training Programme

A specially tailored training programme was arranged for Pakistan Airforce technicians in the following areas:

Diesel Engine Repair
Maintenance/Calibration of Fuel Injection Pumps
High Pressure Air Compression Plants
Advanced Course in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning

Under this programme three separate batches of 20~26 regular employees (Technicians) of Pakistan Airforce were to be trained for 4 weeks in the above specialization. However, due to certain other pre-occupations the PAF could not send their trainees and the programme was postponed for another suitable time.

Diploma in Human Rights

One week diploma course in Human Rights

150 officers of provincial and federal education departments, field officers, officers of the administrative, civil services organizations/institutions and police academies have been trained in five groups under the auspicious and close collaboration of Fazal Dad Human Rights Institute, Islamabad.

ENERCON/UNDP Fuel Efficiency in Road Transport Sector (FERTS) Project

The FERTS Project of ENERCON/UNDP requested NISTE to provide training to different batches of 20 ~ 25 mechanics of the country having educational qualification of F.Sc./FA or experience in auto-mechanics for 4 weeks in the tune-up of both diesel and petrol engines for emission control. The first batch of trainees successfully completed this course during Dec 2002 – Jan 2003. To provide proper training a manual on “Automotive Tune-up for Mechanics” was developed by NISTE.

ICTs Teacher Training for Information Communication Technologies
