Continuing the mission to make quality education accessible for all, the Thar Education Alliance in collaboration with District Education Department and office of Chief Monitoring Officer organized a science festival in Mithi-Tharparkar one of the hardest deserts of Pakistan. Thar Education Festival was the culmination of a three-phased training through hands-on science and project-based learning using STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) methodologies as well as sports. This collaborative effort of Sindh’s leading corporations and public sector organizations, along with academia, was aimed at promoting critical thinking and enriching the learning experience of teachers and students of Tharparkar schools in the region while specially focusing on girl’s education.
The First ever Laar Science festival was the largest done activity specific to the education in Laar region. Laar Science Festival attracted many stockholders, Politicians, Media Persons and Education Activists. It was a huge success with a total of 14767 visitors across Laar Region. The 2-days event Programme focused on delivering scientific awareness for people of all ages and backgrounds, engaging and inspiring the whole community through its celebration of science and lifelong learning across Laar Region
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?
