Educate a Girl has partnered with British Council and begun training the top girls with (BBC awarded) UK based journalist and author Alex Preston. Alex came to Karachi and met with 45 of the top students (311 have graduated this course so far) and taught them for two hours in the use of subjective tense, importance of keeping ownership of your voice, simplicity of words, asking inviting questions and so forth. The girls were given certificates by British Council. The course was videotaped to share with other students.
This invaluable additional training is organized by Dawood Global Foundation and British Council without any additional costs to Educate a Girl donors.
The 5 best students from this course will be selected for further training in Europe.
To date, almost 600 deserving girls have been funded through Educate a Girl to become journalists.
