The Constitution of Pakistan guarantees the right to education for all children aged 5–16 years. This right is reinforced by laws, policies and programs at both federal and provincial levels. Nevertheless, over 6.5 million children are currently not in primary school and another 2.7 million are not in lower secondary school. These children, as well as those who are at risk of dropping out, are being denied the right to a full basic education of good quality.
HOPE- an NGO in
Pakistan diligently tries to
provide education to all, especially the underprivileged masses. Under the
vigorous leadership of Dr.
Mubina Agboatwalla - A child specialist in Karachi, most of the
organization’s activities are focused primarily on the rural and urban slum
areas of Pakistan. HOPE works extensively to provide quality education, free of
cost to the underprivileged who cannot afford to send their children to
schools.
HOPE has a formal school at Muzaffargarh Punjab,
where 200 plus students are availing the opportunity of achieving quality
education free of cost. The children of these areas belong to poor families
that cannot afford education.
Recently HOPE
– An educational NGO in Pakistan, purchased text books and course books
for all the students of the school, ranging from nursery up to class 8.
HOPE strives to provide underprivileged masses with free education and these
formal schools provide these children opportunities they can avail to elevate
their living standards.
Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, has been the driving
force in setting up these schools and in ensuring they are successfully and
efficiently run – which is why these schools have been so popular in the areas
where they have been established and enrollment of students have been
increasing constantly. HOPE has always maintained that the education
provided to the children of HOPE’s home schools should be of excellent quality
and all reading materials, such as books etc. are all free of cost.
