Or Adra Telim-O-Eggs, 2025 is not just another year, it is an institutional milestone. The ITA has proudly marked the 25 -year -old journey to understand and deal with the obstacles facing children in access to quality education all over Pakistan. From the very beginning, the organization has acknowledged the complex mutual relations of domestic, school and social obstacles.
Covering the first quarter of the 21st Century, the presence of ITA means that children’s learning, technology and AI’s amazing pace and climate change and other emergencies have a deep engagement with the field, developing neuro science. Our reaction has been tested in nine major emergencies, including the devastating 2005 earthquake, the Kovade 19 pandemic diseases and the frequent floods, demanding flexibility, innovation and rehabilitation. With 450 students, from a humble start at a municipal school in Lahore, the ITA has reached more than 18 million children, youth and adults in the backward classes and context, which has created comprehensive learning opportunities.
The trip has been strengthened by research -based learning solutions, local heritage exploration and bold programming, which links Pakistan with global dialogue. Since 2005, the organization has built the South Asian and global partnership, which guides us with the belief that education, culture and science are the real instruments of long -lasting diplomacy.
