MINGORA: The local girl students earned appreciation from the participants of an exhibition by presenting different models on the basis of ‘multiple intelligence’ theory.

The exhibition was held at the Rahimabad branch of Swat Public School and College.

The students, their parents and teachers attended the exhibition in a large number.

“Actually parents consider their children their property and want them to become what they desire which often lead the children in wrong direction,” said Syed Munawar Shah, the director of SPS. He added that God bestowed specific intelligence on each child and parents must understand it.

Muniba Ahmad, a student of FSc second year, who was standing with her model, said that Allah created them with multiple talents.

“My multiple intelligence is inter-personal and our group has tried to exhibit its intelligence in different things as we have made models of a cloth shop, a classroom and a clinic according to our intelligence,” she told Dawn.

A mock wedding ceremony was also presented in a unique way by Mah Rukh Akbar, who said that wedding ceremony should be held in a simple way and complications must be avoided.

Minal Karim, a student of second year, exhibited a model of an ideal Pakhtun village while Laiba Shah designed her model on Malam Jabba skiing.

A model of the agriculture research centre was also displayed at the exhibition to show how and what type of agriculture research should be carried out.

The model of Pakhtun hujra was the main attraction for the visitors of the exhibition.

Some girls displayed their paintings at the exhibition. “I have made these paintings to express my feelings and I feel satisfaction in them,” said Farheen, a 10th grader.

The visitors said that they got an opportunity to see a unique activity.

They said that teachers and parents should polish the talent of their children and should not impose their decisions on them.
