HISTORY The Ali Institute of Education (AIE) was established in 1992 by a distinguished family trust, with the primary objective of providing effective teachers to the schools of Pakistan. The UNDP and SIDA (Sweden) also supported this endeavor initially, to improve the quality of education in our country. At the AIE we believe that teachers are agents of change and they can bring about a meaningful transformation to the education scenario of Pakistan. To develop teachers into their purported role, the AIE offers pre-service and in-service programs.CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGESyed Babar Ali "I pledge my continuing support to the educational program of the AIE and wish its organization the best of luck in its endeavors to perpetually improve the standard of education being imparted.
