Itbar Khan, a Pakistani English teacher, visited South today as part of his experience with the American education system.
Khan is studying at BU in the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program with the help of his mentor Nurse Gail Kramer. According to the BU website the goal of the Humphrey Fellowship Program is "to permit mid-career professionals from Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Central and Eastern Europe and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union to gain expertise in their fields as they have evolved in the United States."
During his visit, Khan toured the school and observed a number of English classes, including English Department Head Brian Baron’s AP Journalism class.
“He was curious to know how an American school works,” Baron said.
Khan may return to South later this year to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. No plans have been finalized.
