Message From Secretary
It is a matter of immense pleasure to highlight the tremendous and remarkable achievements of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Higher Education Academy of Research and Training (HEART), Peshawar. The academy has made significant developments in academic and administrative fields. In spite of many challenges like limited infrastructure, and resources, the academy left no stone unturned in achieving its unique mandate of training a huge bulk of various cadres of college teachers in the promotion zones. The untiring efforts of the Academy made this possible to strengthen it in terms of academic performance and administrative uplifts. I believe that mentoring an individual in the professional sphere is a continuous effort and training is essential for one’s personal and professional grooming and academic development. HEART ensures that every cadre of teachers gets the soft skills and knowledge to impart the same to its community.

Message From Director
Toil acknowledged is toil rewarded. It was always a deeper craving to work at the rampart of the castle of education and to raise its edifice to visible grandeur, and nothing is more soothing than seeing a mission fulfilled. The academy achieved far beyond its set goals by imparting quality training to the college faculty of government colleges. It’s for the first time ever to extend the training programs to teachers of commerce colleges, too. The quality of training programs at HEART has earned the attention of all educational institutions across the country and resultantly, the Regional Director FGEIs Peshawar Region sent college teachers of FG Colleges for training. HEART is rightly named as the organ heart purifies and provides fresh lifeblood to all the body. So, the institution HEART has wreathed a garland of shining Resource Persons for sharing their wider knowledge, inculcation of higher morale and an enlightened concept of education with its basis on modern theories of education and personality development.
