KARACHI: The students of SMB Fatima Jinnah Govt Girls School paid a warm tribute to teachers across Pakistan by forming a human chain message commemorating Teachers? Day.

The gathered students formed the phrase ?Salam Ustaad? in Urdu, sending a strong message of recognition and respect to the individuals who work tirelessly to educate the future of the country.

Inspired by a similar human sentence that was recently formed in Manila, Phillipines, over 1000 students of the school got together to organise the human chain message.

International Teachers Day is celebrated around the world on October 5th to send a strong message of support to teachers. The occasion also brings opportunities to discuss issues faced by teachers.

The school is run by the Zindagi Trust, a non-profit organization that works on education across Pakistan.
