In the wake of recent earthquake in Turkiye and Syria, Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) under Federal Ministry of Education and Professional Training has instructed educational institutions to raise funds to help earthquake victims. The amount will go to the ‘Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for Earthquake Victims', to generate funds for Turkiye and Syria.
The decision was made in the meeting held on Thursday, chaired by Federal Minsitry of Education and Professional Training, Rana Tanveer Hussain. To kick start the campaign, fundraising activity has immediately started in 5 schools including Islamabad College for Girls, F-6/2, Islamabad College for Boys G-6/3, Islamabad Model College for Girls, F-7/4, Islamabad Model College for Girls, F 10/2 and Islamabad Model College for Boys, F-8/4.
The students and administration set up a donation box to collect donations and teachers and students had awareness and motivational sessions for students to encourage them in taking part in this activity. Schools administration has asked students to contribute to the funds, with as little as Rs10. Together they can make the difference in the lives of victims people. In the next step, this campaign will expand to a greater number of schools, ultimately involving all educational institutions under FDE in this fundraising campaign.
