Medical Student Wins First Position in Public Speaking Competition

Salman Fasih Khan, AKU medical student of the Class of 2005, won the first prize at the Annual Public Speaking Competition - 2001, organised by the English Speaking Union of Pakistan (ESUP) in collaboration with the British Council. Sixty-seven speakers representing 33 educational institutions competed for the coveted prizes. The second and third prizes were won by Ali Asghar Moiz of Karachi Grammar School and Mariam Mamsa of the L’Ecole respectively.

The first two position holders will represent Pakistan in the international public speaking competition to be held in London this May.

When Salman was asked how he finds the time from his busy schedule to participate in public speaking, he said, "Public speaking happens all the time … it’s something we practise in our daily classrooms during presentations; in this way I get plenty of experience, and the opportunity to rehearse as well as enjoy my hobby."
