Self-Paced Learning

Self-Paced Learning = Stress Free Learning

Every child is born with a unique blend of talents and skills; no two children are alike in their learning journeys. The schooling system and classroom set up can be limiting in terms of catering to a child’s individual learning needs and fostering their innate curiosity.

With the help of VSPs self-paced learning model,

A

Parents can enable their children by understanding their individual learning requirements and adapting the model to best fit their child’s needs rather than the child adapting to the system.

The process of teaching and learning continues from the creation of the first man in the universe and will continue till the last man. But more importantly, education is not possible without research. This is the reason why centuries of human history have progressed today. Research is the fundamental difference between the rise and fall of nations.

I have a long association with ERI, a leading educational research institute in Pakistan. ERI is one of the founders of research in school education in Pakistan and laid the foundation for research at a time when it was not common here. In today's age of materialism, ERI research, the resulting curricula and training have nurtured millions of minds and made them aware of their purpose of life. This system of education has played a very important role in my teaching base.

I pray to Allah to enable ERI to do more work on an ideological basis as per the requirements of modern era and to reward all those who are associated with it.

Ms. Rafia Javed Mallah Registrar, Directorate of Inspection & Registration of Private Institutions Sindh (DIRPIS)

I feel great pleasure to admire and recount the valuable services rendered by Education Research Institute (ERI) to spread deep rooted knowledge among the youths of nation, in the most befitting manner.

The institute has been striving to let the teachers and the taught realize that the true essence of education is the root cause of progress and prosperity of the human beings and to enable them to face the challenges of life aptly.

To this effect, tireless efforts of Mrs. Safoora Naeem-Incharge of the institution are highly commendable. Under her able guidance / supervision, the institute is serving the purpose of a MENTOR by imparting knowledge through most modern and research-based methodologies of giving specific trainings/ guidelines related to the aim of getting education and building the habits of mind to acquire knowledge in a perfect, precise way and according to the modern lines. Her devotion to the noble cause of adoring common man with the ornaments of education, suiting to the time and occasion deserves all applause.

I wish her every success in her mission of making ERI an exemplary hub of research based modern education not only in Pakistan but all over the world.

تعلیمی و تحقیقی مرکز ( ای۔ آر۔ آئی) میری نظر میں

انسان کی تخلیق کے ساتھ ہی اس کی تعلیم و تعلّم کا سلسلہ شروع ہوگیاجو بہ دستور جاری ہے اور تا قیامت جاری رہے گا۔ اِنشأاللہ!

طلبہ کو تعلیم وتربیت سےآراستہ کرنا ایک نہایت حسّاس ، اہم،لطیف اور بے حد صبر آزما عمل ہے۔ مملکتِ خداداد میں ایسے کئی ادارے ہیں جو علم و آگہی کی شمعیں فروزاں کرنے میں ہمہ وقت مصروفِ عمل ہیں۔ ان مثالی اداروں میں ایک اہم ادارہ تعلیمی و تحقیقی مرکز ( ای۔ آر۔ آئی)بھی ہے اور اگر میں اِسے بہت سے پیشہ ورانہ تربیت کے اداروں کی ماں کہوں تو اس میں ذرّہ برابر بھی مبالغہ آرائی نہ ہوگی۔ آپ اس شہر بلکہ ملک کے ایسے اداروں کی فہرست مُرتب کرتے جائیں تو ان سے جُڑے بیش تر افراد کے تانے بانے ( ای۔ آر۔ آئی)سے آکر ملتے چلے جائیں گے۔ جو یا تو اس ادارے سے وابستہ رہے ہیں، اس سے تربیت حاصل کرچکے ہیں یا بالواسطہ طور پر اس سے متاثر ہیں۔ غرض یہ کہ ( ای۔ آر۔ آئی)اس راہ میں وہ پہلا چراغ تھا جس سے علم و آگہی کے بہت سے چراغ مہمیز ہوئے۔

مجھے اس ادارے کے قیام کی دُرست تاریخ تو معلوم نہیں لیکن اس کے اغراض و مقاصد سے بہ خوبی آگاہ ہوں۔ اِس ادارےمیں اساتذہ کی تربیت اور کُتب کی تصنیف و تالیف کے ذریعے مستقبل کے معماروں کو خلیفۃ اللہ فی الارض کے اصل منصب پر فائز کرنا ، مقصدِ اوّلین ہے اور دیگر تمام کوششیں اِس مقصدِ عظیم کے حصول کی اہم کڑیاں ہیں۔

میرا ای۔ آر۔ آئی سے تعارف ؁۱۹۹۶میں ہُوا جب میں عثمان پبلک اسکول سسٹم میں اُردو کے اُستاد کی حیثیت سے منسلک ہوا ۔ تقرّری کے کچھ ہی دن بعد اس ادارے میں پہلی تربیت نشست میں شرکت کی تو اس ادارے کی مہتمم مادام صفوریٰ نعیم سے ملاقات ہوئی ۔ اس ملاقات کے بعد منکشف ہوا کہ علم کیا ہے؟ تدریس کِسے کہتے ہیں اور اس کا دائرہ کار کس قدر وسیع ہے اور سب سے بڑھ کر یہ کہ اُستاد کیسا ہونا چاہیے؟ پہلی ہی ملاقات کے بعد مادام صفوریٰ نعیم میری آئیڈیل بن گئیں اور میں آج بھی نہایت فخر سے انہیں اپنا اُستاد کہتا ہوں ۔ ان کی مشفقانہ قیادت سے یہ ادارہ روز بہ روز ترقی کرتا چلا گیا ۔ اساتذہ کی تربیت ، تعلیمی تحقیق کے ساتھ ساتھ درسی کُتب کی تصنیف و تالیف کا سلسلہ دراز ہوتا چلا گیا۔ ایک زمانہ تھا کہ مادام رضیہ شمس الدین، مادام راحیلہ وقار، مادام سجیلا ابرار اور مادام رضیہ خلجی، مادام اسما جبار جب کہ مردوں میں جناب محمد نسیم صدیقی مرحوم، جناب معین الدین نیّر، جناب انتصار احمد غوری، جناب منصور خالد، جناب محمدراشد اور جناب نصراللہ شجیع شہید جیسے گوہرِ نایاب اس ادارے کی چھتری تلے علمی خزینوں کو دو چند کرنے لگے ۔ بعد ازاں مجھ ناچیز کو بھی ان قد اور شخصیات کی رفاقت نصیب ہوئی اور اس پلیٹ فارم سے ملک بھر میں تربیت استاتذہ کا اعزاز حاصل ہوا۔

درسی کُتب کی تصنیف وتالیف کے ضمن میں انگریزی کی وژن اردو کی ابتدائی جماعتوں پری پرائمری کی کتابوں اور بالخصوص اسلامیات کی درسی کُتب نے بے مثال مقبولیت حاصل کی اور نونہالانِ وطن کے علم و عمل اور اسلامی بصیرت میں کلیدی کردار ادا کیا۔

ای۔ آر۔آئی۔ آج بھی قائم و دائم ہے گو کہ بہت سے افراد اب اس وابستہ نہیں ہیں مگر جو فکری بصیرت انہوں نے اس ادارے سے حاصل کی اسے اب وہ اپنے طور پر کسی نہ کسی میدان میں بھرپور طریقے سے استعمال کرتے ہوئے مکک و ملت کی تعمیر و ترقی کے لیے اپنے حصے کی شمعیں روشن کررہے ہیں۔ محمد نسیم صدیقی صاحب کو اللہ تعالیٰ غریقِ رحمت فرمائے ان کی خدمات ای۔آر۔آئی کے لیے ہمیشہ آبِ زر سے لکھی جائیں گی اور اللہ تعالیٰ ان خدمات کو اپنی بارگاہ میں قبول فرماتے ہوئے یقیناً ان کے درجات بلند فرمائے گا۔

اپنی اُستاد مادام صفوری ٰ نعیم کے لیے دُعاگوہوں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ ان کو صحت و ہمت عطا فرمائے اور آپ اسی طرح علم و آگہی کی شمعیں فروزاں کرتی رہیں اور یہ ادارہ خوب ترقی کرتے ہوئے اپنے اصل مقصد کو حاصل کرنے میں سرخ رُو ہو۔ آمین
