CLF Karachi 2015

Children’s Literature Festival was founded by Baela Raza Jamil of Idara-e-Taleem-O-Aagahi (ITA) and co-founded by Ameena Saiyid of Oxford University Press (OUP) in collaboration with Open Society Foundations (OSF).

CLFs are a social movement triggered by low learning levels, textbooks and tests and oppressive school cultures. The idea is not simply to engage children through multiple intelligences in learning that is absolutely valid but also to generate content.
