The Center for Financial Excellence (CFE) and the World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly work towards spreading environmental education and creating a new generation of youngsters who are aware of conservation issues of our country.
Speaking at the occasion, WWF Director Operation, Anwar Nasim said that Pakistan has been committed to highlighting issues pertaining to the environment and conservation in our country for more than forty years. This partnership is meant to create a constituency of environmentally enlightened, like-minded people who can effect change. This hand's on awareness programme with a global organisation will also enhance the future education and career prospects for the students of CFE.
Discussing the value of a sound environmental education for the students, the CFE Principal, Adnan Rashid said the College has taken a very holistic approach towards educating our students. This partnership with the WWF is yet another step to ensure whether our students go on to become financiers, accountants or economists, he added. The Participating students receive a certificate after the successful completion of the internship, affiliating them with WWF - Pakistan for future conservation efforts, he maintained. Under the MoU, College and University level students will be hosted by WWF - Pakistan for exhaustive 'Eco Internships', where they will learn about conservation issues through theory and practical fieldwork as part of this programme. Six-session summer internship will be held for students from across Pakistan at a school, college and university level.
