LAHORE: The sixth Teachers Literature Festival (TLF) was held at the Children’s Library Complex on Thursday.

Scores of teachers registered for the event and arrived to attend and participate in sessions that aimed at training them to use better tools in classroom.

TLF was held as a tribute to the International Education Day 2020. There was an attendance of over 2,000 teachers from Lahore as well as other districts. Around 70 per cent of the teachers attending TLF were from primary classes of government schools travelling from all over Lahore and other districts.

Children’s Literature Festival (CLF) Adviser Ms. Rumana Husain, who has also worked as teacher, said: “We hope that teachers will take what they learn today and implement it to create a more inclusive and creative learning environment for our children.”

“This is such a fruitful platform to train the teachers and encourage them to pass on the information, not only to students but other teachers and school management as well,” said a teacher attending from Govt Islamia Higher Secondary School.

The sessions included theatre and learning by Atif Badar, how to make book launches more impactful by OUP, a source of learning for students by Khaled Anam, Sarwat Mohiuddin and Raheela Baqai, the art of bookmaking, how to do a CLF in your school, sign language workshop, understanding language for literature by Fiona Robertson and Science Tunnel by Khawarizimi Science.
