Pakistani educators leave for home today after eight weeks in Green Bay

Education professionals from Pakistan leave Green Bay today after an eight-week stay that provided them with a wide range of professional and cultural experiences. The educators came to UW-Green Bay for an intensive program aimed at improving various aspects of Pakistan's education system. It was an experience they will not soon forget. "We learned and we had fun," said Lubna Nazli, a senior administrative assistant and training coordinator. "We have very good memories and would like to come back." During their stay, they visited a two-room schoolhouse near Lena, met with Department of Public Instruction officials and sat in on numerous UW-Green Bay classes. But it wasn't all business.
