LAHORE:

A model primary school was inaugurated on Wednesday at the Lahore College for Women University (LCWU).

Higher Education Secretary Abdullah Khan Sumbal was the chief guest at the ceremony.

Vice Chancellor Sabiha Mansoor said the school aimed at enrolling children of underprivileged and marginalised families and would serve as a model for similar schools across the Punjab.

She said the school aimed to nurture its students as good citizens and cultivate strong values in them.

Mansoor stressed the need to appreciate diversity and to promote teaching in bilingual modes. She suggested multiple intervention strategies to introduce sports and physical activities and weekly computer classes to link education with computer-based instruction.
