PAMS hosted a high-level policy engagement event on a DARE-RC-funded comparative scoping study titled "Comparative Analysis of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Models Across Pakistan: Design, Delivery, and Perceptions."

The event brought together a diverse group of key stakeholders, including provincial and federal education officials, PITE directors, development partners, academic experts, and frontline educators, for a collaborative dialogue on building coherent, locally responsive teacher support systems across Pakistan.

In 2022, Zindagi Trust signed an MoU with STEAM Pakistan with a shared vision: to transform government school education through the power of art, creativity, and interdisciplinary learning.

As part of this collaboration, our Head of Art Program, Anam Shakil, designed 10 art activity guides along with their instructional videos for teachers in STEAM Pakistan partner schools across the nation. Several of these lessons thoughtfully integrated art with science and mathematics to support the STEAM mission to bring interdisciplinary learning to classrooms.

Three years on, our friends at STEAM Pakistan are now in more than 16,000 schools across all provinces and territories! It is inspiring to see schoolteachers from Ghotki to Sujawal and from Dera Ismail Khan to Tando Muhammad Khan, actively implementing our art activity guides in their classrooms. It is an honour to play our part in helping students think creatively and critically, and also to empower teachers, to make learning more meaningful.

This is what educational transformation looks like: accessible, creative, and rooted in the belief that every child, no matter where he or she lives in Pakistan, deserves opportunities to imagine, explore, and express themselves. @ZindagiTrust @sanakazmi @STEAMPakistan

*KP Hosts First Provincial STEAM Competition Under ILMpact in Peshawar*

The Elementary and Secondary Education Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, successfully hosted its first-ever provincial STEAM competition under the ILMpact programme at Government Girls Higher Secondary School (GGHSS) Lady Griffith, Peshawar.

The event brought together students and teachers from eight districts Mansehra, Swabi, Shangla, Dera Ismail Khan, Buner, Battagram, Charsadda, and Peshawar.

The competition featured 167 projects, with a selection showcased at the provincial event. These projects were developed through more than 1,050 STEAM activities across over 120 schools. Around 200 students and teachers attended the event. The projects ranged from mathematics-based games and origami engineering models to recycled product innovations and balloon-powered cars, reflecting students’ creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

The ceremony commenced with an address by the Secretary, Elementary & Secondary Education Department, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who highlighted the importance of conceptual learning and practical application. He stated: “Education is not just about passing exams or scoring marks, it is about understanding concepts deeply and applying them to solve real-life problems. When students transform knowledge into projects, they unlock creativity, build confidence, and prepare themselves to lead, innovate, and serve humanity in the digital age.” He further added: “STEAM Clubs and Hubs will transform schools into centers of innovation, where students and teachers collaborate to turn ideas into practical projects, fostering creativity, teamwork and real-world problem-solving skills.”

Dr. Javed Ahmed Malik, ILMpact Team Leader, who attended the event, emphasized the programme’s commitment to advancing girls education and empowerment. He noted that providing girls with access to quality education and hands-on STEAM opportunities is key to building confidence, leadership, and lifelong skills, enabling them to actively contribute to society and the economy. Teachers and school leaders were also recognized for their instrumental role in guiding students and fostering an environment that encourages experimentation, collaboration, and innovation.

In his closing remarks, Faisal Khan Tarakai, Minister for Labour, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reaffirmed the government’s strong commitment to education. He stated: “Education, especially girls’ education, is our topmost priority, and I have always advocated for it at every level.

We are pleased to see initiatives like the ILMpact programme moving from lanning to implementation, with over 120 schools participating and many students being recognized today. The government has significantly increased the education budget and is focusing on improving facilities, including IT and science labs, while also working on AI initiatives on a pilot basis. Our priority is not only access but also the quality of education, particularly for girls and children in underserved and merged districts, so they can compete and succeed in the modern world.” Implemented in partnership with the British Council, the ILMpact programme continues to promote hands-on learning and confidence across government schools.

The successful event reflects Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s commitment to nurturing a generation of capable, curious, and confident problem-solvers.

People ask me why I travel across Pakistan — from Chitral to Tharparkar — to do math with kids in government schools.
This is why. A thread. 🧵

Savail Hussain writes on school closing. “On pretexts as diverse as fog, smog, floods, temperature (hot & cold), political rallies & cricket matches, Punjab had fewer than 135 school days in 2025. The global average was 186. India had 200 days, B’desh 179. https://t.co/oo9ZFGhiPr

لاہور سائنس میلہ 2025 کے پہلے دن پہ انسانوں اور پیاسی روحوں کا مد و جزر۔

سینہ روشن ہو، لایور سائنس میلہ 2025 کا دعائیہ تھا۔

جب جنون کی پیاسی لہر
عقل کی پر شکوہ ساحلی
چٹانوں سے ٹکرا کے
چکرا کے
بکھر جاتی ہے تو
اپنے آپ میں گم ہو کے
آگہی کے حبابوں میں

لوٹ جاتی ہے اور
مادر زاد لہروں
کے مد و جزر سے
ترتیب دیتی ہے
خرد کا سکوت
اور روشنی کا ثبوت

وہ روشنی جو
سینوں میں خودآگہی
کا تموج برپا کر دے
اور فطرت کو جاننے
سمجھنے اور تسخیر
کرنے کا جنون
سب پہ عیاں کر دے
