| Peter McMurray, Head of the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, Kenya speaks to AKU-ISMC's MA students. |
On the 27th of June, Peter McMurray, Head of the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa, visited AKU-ISMC. He provided a presentation on the work of the Aga Khan Academies and discussed possibilities for post-graduation internships with the Institute’s MA students.
During his presentation, McMurray provided an overview of the Aga Khan Academies, an integrated network of schools located in Africa, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East offering girls and boys an international standard of education from pre-primary to upper secondary levels with rigorous academic and leadership experience.
Education at the Aga Khan Academies’ education builds on the framework of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) programme which offers a broad, multidisciplinary education with an emphasis on the humanities. Students study a range of subjects that include, but are not limited to: history; literature; the general sciences comprising physics, biology and chemistry; philosophy and ethics; the mastery of a foreign language and the study of foreign cultures; comparative religion; the history, theory and criticism of the arts; and the social sciences, including political science, government and global economics.

The resources and linkages of the Aga Khan Development Network play an important part in the realisation and impact the Academies, its teachers and its graduates will make. They benefit from the intellectual and programmatic resources at agencies such as the Aga Khan Foundation, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, the Aga Khan University and the University of Central Asia.
During his visit to AKU-ISMC, McMurray discussed the possibility of post-graduation internships for the Institute’s MA students, the first cohort of which will graduate in October 2008. The Institute is keen to support its student’s post-graduate experiences – helping to place students in internships and research positions both within and outside of the Aga Khan Development Network wherever possible.
