International Day of Education - January 24, 2025 🌍 Education is not just a right; it’s a powerful tool to transform lives and communities. On this special day, we celebrate the role of education in shaping a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for all. As a proud member of the IBTIDA Society at the University of Central Punjab (UCP), I am honored to share our ongoing efforts to bring education to slum areas. Through this initiative, we aim to provide underprivileged children access to learning opportunities, empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and realize their dreams. Why we do this? In Pakistan, countless children face barriers to education due to poverty, lack of resources, and social inequality. By addressing these challenges, we hope to create a brighter tomorrow—one where education is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. Our Impact So Far: Reaching out to children in slum areas with educational resources and mentorship. Fostering curiosity and creativity through interactive sessions. Building a foundation for a better future through consistent learning support. This International Day of Education, let us all reaffirm our commitment to ensuring education for every child, everywhere. Together, we can bridge the gap and inspire a generation of empowered individuals. Your support matters: If you’d like to join hands in making a difference, feel free to connect or reach out. Together, we can build a world where education truly becomes a universal right. #InternationalDayofEducation #IBTIDASociety #EducationForAll #UCP #CommunityService #EmpowermentThroughEducation

Pakistan’s education sector continues to grapple with challenges like outdated curricula, poor governance, and a lack of meaningful parental involvement—factors that severely hinder student outcomes. Addressing these systemic issues is critical for the country’s future. Tabadlab‘s report, #TowardsLearning, dives deep into these problems and offers actionable recommendations to empower parents and improve governance in education. It’s time to rethink how we engage with education reform. Read here 👉 https://lnkd.in/d2e2aVbQ

I completed my review of the RSHE statutory guidance consultation by the Department for Education. Closing date 11 Jul 24. https://lnkd.in/dxVDxqSX The existing statutory guidance lacks clarity on key issues and fails to prioritize the rights and needs of neglected children. The focus seems to be more on the rights of parents rather than on the rights of children to receive timely, inclusive education. RSE should prioritize increasing the knowledge, autonomy, and confidence of young people and reflect the call for more inclusive education. Limiting and rationing information will not protect children but make them more vulnerable. #RSHE

The crisis where 26 million Pakistani kids are out of school and 43 million are stuck in classrooms that fail them isn’t just a tragedy; it's a glaring testament to misplaced priorities. The government's stingy allocation, often skimping on the suggested 4% of GDP for education, coupled with a governance system that seems more interested in bureaucratic power plays than educational reform, keeps this disaster alive. Sure, we can jazz up reports with talk of parent engagement or expect miracles from underpaid, undertrained teachers with some fancy new tactics, but let's not kid ourselves. These aren't the solutions to a problem rooted in a systemic failure to see education as the cornerstone of national development. What we really need is a policy revolution that puts education at the very top of the national agenda, not just as a line item in a budget or a flashy promise in election manifestos.

This alarming statistic is a wake-up call for our nation. The future of millions of children hangs in the balance not receiving adequate education. It's imperative that we prioritize education and take collective responsibility to address this crisis. We need to ensure and must work together to access to quality education for all, focusing on marginalized communities and disadvantaged areas. The time to act is now, for the sake of our children and the future of Pakistan #govtofpakistan #educationforall #savefutureofPakistan
