Certificate in Education: Health Education

Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED), with its limited capacity, cannot provide extensive training in health education on a large scale through AKU-IED based face-to-face programmes. It is even more challenging to do so considering the geographical distribution of the teachers that AKU-IED intends to serve. However, alternative modes of delivery, such as open and distance education offered an opportunity to reach more teachers. The need was explicitly identified by AKU-IED and it decided to develop a Certificate in Education: Health Education and offer it through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode.

This certificate programme was developed to build on the experience and practice of the past five years of action research in health education and school health promotion through the HAS project. The overall aim of the certificate programme is to enable teachers to develop their own relevant basic health skills; teach and promote health within and beyond schools. This eight months course is offered on yearly basis.
