International Institute of Teachers' Training

OUR LEADERSHIP

Dr. Safiuddin Siddiqui

CEO & Founder

As the CEO & Founder, I embarked on a visionary journey that began with the inception of Meritorious, a project dedicated to making education accessible and affordable. From its roots as a coaching institute in 1994, Meritorious has evolved into a diverse network of schools and colleges affiliated with prestigious boards, including Cambridge, AKU-EB, and Karachi Board.

In addition to my role at Meritorious, I bring a wealth of experience as an Ex-Faculty Member at The Aga Khan University Medical College and Ziauddin Medical College. Holding an M.B.B.S from The Aga Khan University Medical College and being recognized as an Allama Iqbal Gold Medalist by the Ministry of Education, I have a strong foundation in medical education.

Furthermore, I actively participate as a Core Member in the Pakistan Life Savers Program (PLSP at AKU), contributing to life-saving initiatives with my relentless dedication to community welfare. Additionally, I serve as the Patron of Youth Parliament Pakistan and hold the position of President-Elect 2024 at the Rotary Club of Karachi Educationists, demonstrating leadership and a commitment to fostering youth engagement and educational development.

Having 25 years devoted to the education sector, I have cultivated a vision extending beyond traditional boundaries, working towards continuous, long-term change, recognizing that there is a need to bridge the gap between conventional learning and modern practices, aligning with the needs of the upcoming era and the importance of implementing cutting-edge teaching methodologies.

Simultaneously, I also believe that there are several intelligent, creative, driven, and inquisitive learners worldwide who deserve access to educational tools and resources to align with the demands of a modernized curriculum.
Bit by bit, drop by drop, with an insightful spirit, recognizing their imperative to refine skills for success in diverse professional realms, IITT is making an effort to accomplish this mission by providing a world-class learning experience.

Associated with Meritorious, providing school leadership courses and guidance for successful parenting, and emphasizing a hands-on learning approach in a nurturing environment, our institute is envisioned to raise a community of global learners and leaders, playing a pivotal role in shaping a better and promising 2050.

As we evolve, my role as a CEO is to lead a passionate team dedicated to providing quality education and fostering an environment where learning is not just a process but a profound experience, empowering individuals to reach their highest potential.
