Also, for us, every day is a teacher’s day because we honour their role with meaningful steps throughout the year. The purpose is to support and uplift their professional and personal growth.
Teacher’s Child Scholarship
PGC recognises the noble role of teachers play in shaping society. That’s why we offer special Teacher’s Child Scholarship and fee concessions for children of teachers. This meaningful initiative not only gives them financial support. But it stands as a gesture of gratitude, respect, and appreciation for the lifelong dedication and selfless service of teachers.

Teachers Training Programme
Considering teachers as a cornerstone of quality education, PGC emphasises their professional growth and development through the Teachers Training Programme. We ensure that they stay aligned with the latest teaching and educational technologies and learning trends.
The training sessions consist of workshops, seminars, and interactive discussions led by experts and specialists. These sessions allow teachers to share ideas, discover innovative methods, and adapt to the evolving needs of students. This empowers them to make more dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments.
Our National Curriculum Teacher Training Workshops 2025 across Punjab is our current training programme in 2025. The purpose of this programme was to prepare teachers according to the updated National Curriculum of Pakistan.
Training programmes increase subject knowledge and classroom management abilities, and pedagogical skills of teachers. This enables them to implement curriculum and deliver high-quality education that meets modern academic standards. Thus, they are evidence of PGC’s belief in continuous learning and excellence.
