Aleena is a graduate from LUMS (Lahore University of Management Sciences) where she completed her undergraduate degree in Pure and Applied Physics followed by a Masters in Computer Science. She conducted various projects for education development at LUMS and mentored and taught at various different levels. Her focus and interest is on improving and standardizing the quality of science education provided to students at all levels and of all backgrounds. Working on a Tele-Taleem project at LUMS with BAF (Babar Ali Foundation) and DIL (Development in Literacy) allowed her to identify the various problems that the schools in underprivileged areas faced in equipping their students with the necessary skills at primary and secondary levels to flourish in their respective professions. Working as an O level teacher for a further four years at elite schools made her realize that the problems were not limited to underprivileged schools. She is now working at devising new workable strategies and methodologies which will improve the way Science is taught at primary and secondary levels in order to produce students which are more passionate about the why’s and how’s instead of rote learning with minimum monetary investments. |
