On 18 November, the Aga Khan University (AKU) organised a "Bikeathon" around University Road in Karachi to urge all universities to give student experience reforms a boost. On the way, participants stopped to deliver speeches through megaphones about teaching and learning, campus life and gender equity. Dr Ayesha Mian, Dean of students at AKU, said: "Besides raising our voices on these key issues, we are also calling out to other students across Pakistan to drive change by engaging with those who shape their university life. The idea is also to start talking about how important life outside the class is".
