To bring education to the doorsteps of children whose parents are unable to send them to school, the Pakistani government launched the “School on Wheels” project.
The initiative was introduced by the prime minister on Tuesday, who expressed the hope that it would raise Pakistan’s literacy rate, particularly in rural areas.
When mobile schools were first introduced, Prime Minister stated that the project’s goal was to provide children in rural areas without access to modern educational facilities with equal educational opportunities.
At the launch ceremony, the prime minister spoke with the schoolchildren as well. He advised the children to use mobile libraries in the hopes that it would encourage a reading culture in them. Rana Tanveer Hussain, the minister of education, gave the prime minister an overview of the project’s features.
In addition to providing meals to the students enrolled in mobile classrooms, he claimed that the project would also include mobile libraries, encouraging a culture of reading and nutrition.
Balloons were used to decorate the brightly coloured buses, and cartoons and alphabets were painted on the windows.
The mobile classrooms’ interiors are bright and tidy, with pictures of the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, fruits, and animals scattered throughout. Children were seen on colourful chairs inside the bus on the first day as a teacher used the interactive whiteboard to teach.
Eight buses will initially make up the mobile school project, which will offer primary-level instruction to kids in Islamabad and the surrounding areas. There are computers, desks, whiteboards, and LCDs on every bus.
The number of buses will be increased, and the project will be extended to include the rest of the nation. The “school on wheels” project aims to deliver education to underprivileged children’s homes so they can have a chance to learn. Earlier, public and private organisations in Pakistan had introduced a number of comparable mobile school initiatives.
