📚 "No Child Left Behind" – A Milestone for Educational Equity! 📚
In a powerful drive to ensure that every child has access to education, the VIS Directorate of Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST) , in partnership with the Ministry of Federal Education and the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) , launched the "No Child Left Behind" campaign across UC Sihala from January to February 2026.
Through an extensive door-to-door effort, 70 dedicated CUST students covered 27 villages and successfully identified 216 Out of School Children (OOSC) , paving the way for their much-needed educational rehabilitation.
