Nelofer Halai's Enhancing Primary Science Teaching through School-Based Mentors: A Study from Pakistan explores a multi-faceted approach towards professional development and focuses primarily on teacher education, and understanding school-based mentoring in government primary school environments, particularly in the rural areas of Sindh. Aiming to develop a model in understanding of key strategies, the author indicates existing gaps and exposes the readers to logistical components of workshops, while at the same time places special emphasis on conceptualization of ideas for preparing and using appropriate materials to teach science to adult teachers. In addition to this, the book also provides teachers' insights on how to develop themselves into mentors or teacher educators and thus enhance their impact in schools by not only teaching students, but also other teachers. By recognizing traditional practices and age-old methods as ordinary features under a rural context due to a lack of exposure, awareness, and access to modern technology, Halai aims at aiding teachers away from conventional and towards new tutoring techniques by providing a broad context of study through highlighting key facets of both Pakistan and its two rural districts in Sindh i.e., Sukkur and Thatta, where the study was conducted.
