Researchers & Developers
During my experience in the development sector for more than two decades, I have realized that the only way to develop our beloved Pakistan is the promotion and spread of education in the country. Unfortunately, country’s literacy rate is alarmingly low. Number of out of school children is rapidly increasing. Children in the rural areas do not have access to education due to a number of reasons. Education for the girls is even a bigger issue.
