What is wrong with primary education in Pakistan?
"One, not enough kids have access to schools and teachers. Two, parents don't know how bad the quality of the education system is. And third, there is a lack of accountability in schools which plagues every underdeveloped country. Listen to this insightful video by our CEO and co-founder, explaining what doesn’t function in the current school system in Pakistan.
Making education a priority
A lot of people talk about Pakistan being in an education crisis, but I don't think they believe it... because we don't operate in a crisis mode. If we were, we'd be putting schools under every tree or bring schools wherever we can and educate our people wherever possible." Understand why making education a priority is key to our future, as explained by Shafiq Khan, our co-founder and CEO.
