It was a pleasure to welcome Mr. Ramiz Behbudov, Chief of Field Office for Punjab, UNICEF and Mr Kamran Iftikhar Lone, Education Manager Punjab, UNICEF at Pakistan at Syed Ahsan Ali & Syed Maratib Ali School of Education at LUMS on 24th June 2026. The discussion was led from SoE by Professor & Dean School of Education Dr. Tayyaba Tamim, accompanied by Dr. Razia Sadik, Associate Professor, and Ms. Sarah Mahmood, Head of Marketing, Admissions and Student Affairs.
