A beautiful day of inclusion and shared learning as students from a Hearing Impairment Centre participated in interactive sports and physical activities with students from a mainstream FDE school.

The event brought students together through badminton, movement-based activities, teamwork, and joyful interaction, creating a space filled with smiles, laughter, and meaningful connections. Students in mainstream school also learned basic sign language to warmly welcome their peers, making the experience even more special.

As a heartfelt gesture, the visiting students presented a painting created by one of the students from the Special Education Centre — a wonderful reflection of creativity, talent, and friendship.

A wholesome reminder that inclusion grows through empathy, participation, and meaningful shared experiences.

Ms. Wajiha Qamar, Minister of State for Federal Education and Professional Training, held a detailed meeting with Dr. Javier Luque, Country Engagement Lead Global Partnership for Education, to discuss strengthening Pakistan’s education sector through enhanced collaboration and strategic partnership under the GPE 2030 framework.

The discussion focused on key national education priorities, including reduction in out-of-school children, promotion of foundational learning, climate-resilient education systems, digital transformation, teacher development, and strengthening education data systems for evidence-based planning. Both sides also exchanged views on supporting inclusive and equitable learning opportunities, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable communities across Pakistan.

Ms. Wajiha Qamar appreciated the continued support of the Global Partnership for Education in advancing education reforms and reaffirmed the Government of Pakistan’s commitment to collaborative engagement with development partners to ensure quality, inclusive, and resilient education for every child.
