"“In the heart of my village, a government school emerged as a blessing,
helping us move ahead and become part of the workforce. Despite an academic
atmosphere that may not have ranked as the best, its impact was profound as it
helped me study at a university later, and today I work as a lecturer at a
private university,” said Muhammad Tariq, a former student of a boy’s
government high school in rural Lodhran, Punjab, Pakistan.
We believe that success stories like Muhammad Tariq’s from Pakistan are often
overlooked. By highlighting these successes, we aim to demonstrate to
policymakers that strategic investments in human development can pay off. With
about 20 million children aged 6-16 who are not in school, Pakistan is home to
the second largest out of school population in the world. Globally, an
estimated 244 million children remain out of school today. Sounds like a policy
failure, right? Well, upon reflection, the reality is much more mixed when we
consider the challenge of population growth."
