PESHAWAR:
As many as 1,200 government school students were helped to enhance their reading skills in a project supported by small grants from the USAID and the Ambassador’s Fund Programme.
The students, hailing from 10 government schools across the province along with their teachers and parents were acknowledged in a ceremony organised by the Peace Education and Development Foundation (PEAD) in Peshawar on Wednesday.
PEAD Executive Director Sameena Imtiaz said that the ceremony does not mark the completion of a project, rather it was the commencement of a collaboration between parents and teachers for vital investment in establishing a culture of reading and for improving the quality of education.
Only by working together, she pointed out, can we make a difference.
“I praise the provincial government, teachers, writers and the parents for playing their leading part in the success of this programme,” she added.
