KARACHI: Dr Hussain Askary, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Head of Community Dentistry Department, FJDC, addressed at the International Day of Education and emphasised access to quality education.
He said,
“A range of factors – including economic circumstances, low-quality teaching, geographic location, gender, and disability – prevent millions of Pakistani children from learning.
International Day of Education, observed globally, is an opportunity to enlighten students and the community about what education looks like for children worldwide. We must find ways to advocate for and promote the importance of improving access to quality education. As educators, we know that primary education empowers our students, helps them achieve their goals, and sets them up for a lifetime of success.
Today is a call for action. Together we can take concrete steps towards supporting teachers and unlock the potential in every person to contribute to collective well-being.”
