A productive and insightful meeting was held with Dr. Rabia Aslam, Professor, Centre of Excellence in Gender Studies, Quaid-i-Azam University, and Ms. Shagufta Niaz, BS Coordinator, with Quart Mudasar, Representative of Thar Education Alliance (TEA).
The meeting focused on the work and initiatives of Thar Education Alliance, particularly in the areas of education, children’s participation, leadership, girls’ education and gender-responsive education.
We discussed the strong connection between Gender Studies and Education and explored potential areas of collaboration between TEA and the Centre of Excellence in Gender Studies, including joint research, field-based learning, seminars, capacity building, publications and policy dialogue.
A key area of discussion was how TEA’s field experience and Children’s Parliament can complement the Centre’s academic and research expertise, connecting research with real-world practice and policy impact.
Looking forward to building meaningful academic and institutional collaboration for inclusive, equitable and quality education.
