The region of Tharparkar makes history after a two-day Science festival kickstarted on Wednesday 14th February, 2018. The news takes us all the way to Mithi, where it’s being held at Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Cultural Complex. It’s a festival to spark an interest and discovery of Science among students and of course, one step towards promoting better quality education in government schools. It goes without saying but almost all Government schools in Pakistan are in a shambolic condition in all terms – how can we change that?
Thar Education Alliance in collaboration with Education Department Tharparkar and chairman municipal committee Dr. Manoj Malani organized Tharparkar Vocabulary Competition 2019 at Government (P) High School Mithi. It was one of the unique and first ever event in history of Tharparkar. There were 60 students participated in event from 30 different Government and private schools. Dayanand and Sardar Singh from Government (P) High School Mithi won 1st prize.
Thar Education Alliance is implementing a project , to enhance the capacity of children and enable them to establish a vibrantly functional platform, with meaningful engagement of children and other relevant stakeholders, further to evolve it with creating best practices in order to promote the decaying sense of tolerance – which threaten the age-old social-cohesion, religion harmony, diversity and peacebuilding processes- in order to prevent, mitigate and resolve the emerging risk of conflict and violence in transitory region of Tharparkar.
