MODEL UNITED NATIONS

The Model United Nations is an academic simulation
of the United Nations where students play the role
of delegates from different countries and attempt
to solve real world issues with the policies and
perspectives of their assigned country. It is an essential
extra-curricular activity for students interested in
debating and is one of the most highly rated activities
amongst the top universities. It has been a very active
extracurricular activity this year with increasing
numbers of students involved. JPGS students attended
three conferences this year and gained awards in
recognition of their effort. Credit must go to the
student instructors Hamzah Dejani and Sara Alsaleh
who ran well planned and informative sessions to help
students grasp the essential elements of the activity.
Thanks go to the two JPGS MUN Directors Mr.
Kidman and Mrs. Ghafoor, responsible for enabling
the Model United Nations club at JPGS.

recognised for their exceptional commitment:
