ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Oct, 2019 ):Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) under Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training was imparting on-job training to the teachers working in federal public schools and colleges with the objective to equip them with tech-based education methodology.
