س طرح دین کی معمولی سوجھ بوجھ رکھنے والے شخص کو ہمارے ہاں عالم دین سمجھ لیا جاتا ہے اسی طرح علامہ اقبال کے چند اشعار یاد کر لینے والے یا اقبال کی شخصیت پر تحقیقی مضمون یا مقالہ لکھنے والے بعض احباب اپنے آپ کو بطور اقبال شناس کہلانے میں دیر نہیں کرتے ۔ ایسے حالات میں کچھ ایسے اسکالرز بھی موجود ہیں جنہوں نے حقیقت میں فکر اقبال کو سمجھا اور دوسروں کو سمجھایا۔ اقبال فہم ہستیوں میں بلا شبہ ڈاکٹر رفیع الدین ہاشمی، ڈاکٹر حسین فراقی ، ڈاکٹر شاہد اقبال کامران اور ڈاکٹر قمر اقبال بہت بڑے نام ہیں۔ اس فہرست میں ایک نام پروفیسر ڈاکٹر عبدالحق کا بھی ہے جنہوں نے ہندوستان میں رہ کر اقبال فہمی کا علم اٹھا رکھا ہے۔ ہندوستان میں فکر اقبال کی شمع روشن کرنا جوئے شیر لانے سے کم نہیں۔ ڈاکٹر محمد عامر اقبال اس لحاظ سے ہدیہ تبریک کے مستحق ہیں کہ انہوں نے پروفیسر ڈاکٹر عبدالحق جیسے اقبال شناس کی زندگی کے مختلف پہلوؤں کے در وا کرنے کی کوشش کی ہے۔ ان کی زیر نظر کتاب پروفیسر عبد الحق: احوال و افکار جہاں پروفیسر عبد الحق کی زندگی پر روشنی ڈالتی ہے وہاں فکر اقبال کی توسیع و تفسیر کے لیے بھی کار آمد ہے۔ کتاب کی شاندار اشاعت پر میں ڈاکٹر عامر کو مبارک باد پیش کرتا ہوں اور ان کی کامیابی کے لیے دعا گو ہوں۔ مجھے یقین کامل ہے کہ ان کی یہ کاوش اقبال شناسی کے میدان میں نو آوردگان کے لیے اہم دستاویز ثابت ہوگی۔

The study was conducted in the central district of Karachi, Pakistan. The sample of this study included one District Officer Education (DOE), one Supervisor, three head teachers, six teachers and three Professional Development Teachers. Since the focus of the study was to explore the perceptions of the stakeholders in the government education system about the role of PDTs, all the participants were selected from this system. The purpose of the establishment of the AKU-IED was to supplement government's efforts to improve the quality of education in the country through in-service teacher training. To achieve this objective, AKU- IED initially started working with fourteen government schools' in Karachi, called cooperating schools. Teachers from these cooperating schools participated in a two-year long Master in Education (M.Ed.) programmes offered by AKU-IED and were called Professional Development Teachers (PDTs), after completion of the programme. The purpose of the M.Ed. programme was to prepare a core of teacher educators who could, after completing the course, work with the teachers and help in improving the quality of education in their systems/contexts. Since 1995, quite a large number of teachers from the government education system, have obtained their M.Ed. degrees from AKU-IED and have been working in their systems/schools. During this time, very little effort has been made to understand the role of PDTs in the government system. This study is also a small effort to understand the role of PDTs from the perspective of the stakeholders with whom the PDTs are working. Using the qualitative research design, data was collected through interviews; using the semi structured interview guide and document analysis. This study will help to understand the role of PDTs in the government education system thus informing the stakeholders about the opportunities and challenge that the PDTs in the government system face. The study may help the administration of AKU-IED to look into the issues raised in the study and take remedial steps in order to enhance the PDTs role in the government education system, so that the goal of quality improvement can be achieved.
