Computer classes at KKJG Higher Secondary School
Nazeer Foundation has introduced computer training classes as part of the curriculum for the KKJG Higher Secondary School for classes 6-10. The classes are held four times a week. In addition to the classes, a computer expert from Karachi visits Kathore twice a week to teach boys and girls higher concepts beyond grade 10.
Prior to the start of these classes, many students had never used or even touched computers before. Now they can proudly claim knowledge of basic software and hardware, and learn the basic usage of office productivity programs such as word processing and spreadsheets.
Nazeer Foundation is hopeful that these skills will undoubtedly provide considerable professional opportunities to the students.
