SWABI: An orientation training session on the Each One Teach One (EOTO) initiative was held at the Main Campus of Women University Swabi under a Memorandum of Understanding between ORIC, Women University Swabi and the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD).
The training, part of the Each One Teach One initiative, aimed to prepare students and faculty for community-based literacy work and expand the programme’s outreach beyond its initial phase. University officials said the initiative is designed to strengthen grassroots literacy efforts through student engagement and institutional collaboration.
The session followed Phase I of the programme, which was conducted earlier at the university’s Gulo Dheri Campus. During that phase, four batches of students from the Department of Political Science received training. The latest session extended participation to the Main Campus, broadening involvement across departments and faculty members.
The training was conducted by Wahid Hassan Shah, Assistant Director Literacy at NCHD, with support from Field Officer Khushbakht. Participants received instruction on EOTO objectives, literacy and numeracy teaching methods, baseline assessment techniques, and classroom management strategies relevant to community learning settings.
The MoU is being coordinated through the Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) at Women University Swabi. Dr. Rehana, Deputy Director Academics, is serving as the focal person for implementation of the initiative at the university.
Vice Chancellor Dr. Ghazala Yasmeen acknowledged the role of ORIC, NCHD, faculty members and students in advancing literacy-focused outreach activities. According to the university, the programme aligns with broader national goals related to access to education, gender inclusion, and institutional partnerships.
University officials stated that the initiative reflects the institution’s commitment to promoting quality education, reducing inequalities, and strengthening collaboration with public sector partners to support community development.
