In order to address the gaps of traditional teachers’ development programs, the government of Pakistan, with the financial support of United States’ Aids for International Development, (USAID) launched a new teachers’ preparation program called Advance Diploma in Education. While collecting data, this study particularly sought the opinions of those prospective teachers who had completed their programs. Therefore, the study focused on matters such as the availability of teaching positions, pay scales, the curriculum of the ADE program, teaching approaches and the availability of instructional resources. It was noted that there was recognition among the students and instructors about the productivity and the usefulness of the new ADE program. Additionally, there was an acknowledgment that a new generation of teachers is being produced through the ADE program that will really change the dynamics of classrooms in Pakistan. However, it seemed that a number of issues, such as limited employment opportunities for ADE graduates, lack of coherent recruitment policies, and the continuation of the traditional program, were some of the primary concerns of both the students and instructors.

This article examines the influence of teacher educators (TEs) on the development of epistemology and tolerance among the prospective teachers (PTs) studying in a newly introduced 4-year Bachelor of Education (BEd) program offered in the Departments of Education of Universities (DoEUs) and Government Colleges of Education (GCEs) in Pakistan. The new BEd is part of United States Agency for International Development (USAID)–led teacher education reforms in Pakistan to curtail the teaching of extremist values that are implicated in breeding extremism. The stated policies and recommended practices of the program are based on the principles of constructivism, critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication, which are expected to shape the PTs’ ways to conceptualize knowledge and knowing, and ultimately their attitude to different social dimensions. Considering that the aforementioned reforms have not focused on the development of the TEs, it is worth examining how the traditionally trained TEs implement this new program, and to what extent they are shaping the epistemology and attitude of the PTs. Using a descriptive quantitative pre–post intervention design, this study collected data on the epistemic and tolerance development of PTs of a DoEU and a GCE. Data were also collected on TEs’ epistemology, tolerance, teacher–students interactions, and teaching strategies. The analysis highlights a significant relation of TEs’ epistemology and tolerance on their teaching strategies as well as on the development of the PTs’ epistemology and tolerance.

Chure landscape is important and valuable because of its topography, geology, geo-morphology and climate. It provides several ecosystem services to the areas downstream, and also, has direct influence on the quality of the environment. The Government of Nepal (GoN) declared Chure landscape as Chure Environmental Protection Area in 2014, and also, formed President Chure-Tarai Madhesh Conservation Development Board (PCTMCDB) to look it separately. In the last four years, the government has entrusted to invest NRs. 6.15 billion in achieving the targeted objectives. This paper looks at whether the investment is worthwhile by assessing the effectiveness of the policies and programs in Chure landscape to achieve its target or goal. The information was gathered through consultative meetings, key informant interviews, focus group discussions and household surveys in the concentrated and distributive sites of river basin systems. The findings show that the formation of a separate body i.e., board and the designed programs, such as river training, soil and water conservation and livelihood support programs are highly relevant. However, the board has not been effective in holding the authority to implement the programs. The programs are being implemented in an ad hoc basis. Similarly, a blanket approach is not appropriate to implement the conservation and development programs due to different physiographic and variation in socio-economic conditions and resource use practices. There is a need of establishing an office with full legal authority along with integrated policy, and also, creation of an independent Chure conservation fund for its sustainability.

The success of the agricultural development program cannot be separated from the active participation of farmers which is manifested in the form of a response. The responses are delivered in the form of ideas, criticisms, dialogues and reflection actions. The Women Farmers Group (KWT) which is the main actor in the optimization program for the use of yard land is a determinant of the success of food security at the family level. The assistant extension workers are the hope of the government as a development facilitator who is able to facilitate and educate KWTs so that they are able to respond to the development programs being carried out. This article aims to describe the characteristics of the group, the role of the facilitator, KWT participatory communication and to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of the group and the role of the facilitator with participatory communication. This research is designed as a descriptive correlational survey research. The selection of respondents was taken by census as many as 12 KWT. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results obtained from the correlation test are that there is a very significant positive relationship between group characteristics, the role of the facilitator and KWT participatory communication.
