The Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) organised a capacity-building and learning session with prominent playwright Fatima Suriya Bajia, where she shared her cogent views on education, culture and society with a focus on learning outside the existing educational paradigm so as to bring a social change. According to an SEF statement issued on Sunday, Bajia shared her compelling views by sharing her opinions on the importance of reviewing the current education system and revising the curriculum to make it more appropriate to our own cultural and social needs which she felt is paramount in moving forward towards a social change. She not only highlighted the vital role that family plays in the life of an individual but also expounded on where family ties are stronger, one is likely to prosper. “Empowerment of women is paramount and they are just as deserving of quality education as their male counterparts,” she said. In the statement, the SEF said that it acknowledges its human resource is one of its most prized assets in its noble commitment to providing education for all. While the SEF is one of the strongest proponents of creating an environment of continuous learning for the growth and development of its employees and stakeholders, it also believes in sustaining the element of innovation and creativity in institutional endeavours and capacity building in its ongoing process. To achieve this aim, forums such as seminars and advocacy events and capacity development opportunities created through discourses and trainings for staff members are organized at regular intervals by the organization. These avenues seek to generate lifelong learning environments that value diversity in inherent processes and channels of education and development. Over the years, various capacity-building and learning sessions, organised by SEF’s Marketing, Advocacy and Publications Unit, featured discussions by reputable experts belonging to diverse backgrounds and offered a unique opportunity for staff members to learn from their wide range of perspectives and experiences.
