About Us 

This center brings together a broad range of study areas within education arena. Studies on teacher education involves the provision of customized and needs-based capacity building and analysis of pre-service and in-service professional development programs for teachers, leaders, and experts, which, in turn, is translated into policy briefs, manuals, and toolkit. The center through its pedagogical science theme commits to developing evidence-based teaching methods, including technology-enhanced learning, blended and online education, and student-centered pedagogies to improve instructional quality. The center also explores innovative assessment methods focusing on participatory, formative, and holistic approaches to evaluation from lower-level to higher education institutions. Under the literacy and numeracy research and development area, the center will primarily analyze current practices in primary schools and adult literacy centers. Drawing on the findings, capacity-building initiatives will be undertaken for teachers, facilitators, teacher educators, and policymakers. Within special needs theme, IPER engages in developing evidence based practices that promote inclusive, accessible, and equitable education for learners with diverse needs across varied educational contexts. Moreover, behavioral studies will promote positive development, psychosocial wellbeing, adaptive behavior, and supportive educational and social environments.
