Teaching Excellence & Achievement (TEA) Program for Pakistan:

The Teaching Excellence & Achievement (TEA) Program provides outstanding in-service Pakistani secondary school teachers of English Language with a six-week professional development training at a university in the United States. The selected teachers are taken to the U.S. on an academic exchange program to further develop expertise in their subject area, enhance their teaching skills and English proficiency, and increase their knowledge about the United States. Upon their return to Pakistan, they are eligible to apply for TEA Small Grants and become members of the Pakistan - U.S. Alumni Network. The program is fully sponsored by the Regional English Language Office (RELO) at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad.
