LAHORE: The three-day Teachers` and Children`s Literature Festival will begin at Children`s Library Complex on Thursday (today) to promote reading, creative writing and critical thinking among children.

The festival is being organised by the Idara-iTaleem-O-Aagahl, Oxford University Press in collaboration with Open Society Foundations, CLC and the School Education Department of Punjab.

The literature festival, which began three years ago from Lahore, has become a nationwide social movement in response to the low levels of learning in Pakistan.

The 15th children literature festival will be a ticketfree public event for all three days and for all school systems of Lahore, Punjab and anywhere in Pakistan from 9am to 5pm.
