The Std 8 student was at a stall focussing on a multimedia play. “We try to engage children, instead of dumping information on them,” said Sanjay Ghatak, senior associate director at the NGO Sesame Workshop India, which had set up a stall.
Thronging with school students, teachers, entrepreneurs, government officials, G20 delegates and people of all ages, the exhibition on ‘Foundational Literacy and Numeracy’ at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has become a major attraction in the city.
