In recent times, Pakistan has declared an education emergency to address the alarming state of its educational system. With an estimated 26 million children out of school, the country faces an urgent need for transformative actions to ensure a brighter future for its youth. This explores the current educational crisis, the government’s comprehensive plans to tackle it, and how NARA Education is playing a pivotal role in contributing to address this nation-wide problem.
In response to this dire situation, the government has launched an education emergency with several key objectives:
A major push is underway to enroll the 26 million out-of-school children. This involves community outreach and leveraging successful models from previous initiatives.
Recognizing the need for a skilled workforce, efforts are being made to provide vocational training to align students’ skills with market demands.
Implementing a comprehensive school meals program aims to address both educational and nutritional needs, improving attendance and overall well-being of students.
Focused programs are being developed to support girls’ education, ensuring that they have equal opportunities to learn and thrive.
At NARA Education, our mission is to foster educational opportunities and enhance the quality of education for all children in Pakistan. Our vision is a nation where every child has access to quality education, enabling them to reach their full potential and contribute to the development of their communities.
Our model focuses on a holistic approach to education, encompassing the following key areas:
In response to the education emergency in Pakistan, we are committed to transforming the lives of children trapped in labor by providing them with educational opportunities. By focusing on remote and underdeveloped regions, we identify these children and offer them a pathway to a brighter future. Our programs supply school materials, uniforms, and financial support to make education accessible and appealing. This approach not only rescues children from labor but also equips them with the skills and knowledge needed for a better life.
We are actively involved in improving school facilities, ensuring that schools have the necessary infrastructure, such as safe classrooms, sanitation facilities, and access to clean water. Our objective is to create an environment conducive to learning, supporting our vision of quality education for all.
Addressing the education emergency in Pakistan requires well-trained teachers. We conduct regular training workshops for teachers to enhance their teaching skills and methodologies, ensuring they can provide high-quality education to their students. This initiative supports our mission to improve the overall quality of education.
To support underprivileged students, we provide scholarships and financial aid, making education accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it. This directly aligns with our objective to eliminate financial barriers to education and promote inclusivity.
In remote areas where access to traditional schools is limited, we have implemented virtual schools using tablets. These tablets are preloaded with educational content and connected to online resources, allowing students to access quality education regardless of their location. This innovative approach not only expands educational reach but also proves to be cost-effective, reducing the need for physical infrastructure while providing interactive and up-to-date learning materials.
The use of tablets in virtual schools offers numerous advantages:
Tablets enable students in remote and underserved areas to access educational content, bridging the gap between urban and rural education.
By reducing the reliance on physical infrastructure, tablets provide a cost-effective solution for delivering quality education. This approach also lowers operational costs related to school maintenance and transportation.
Tablets offer interactive learning experiences through multimedia content, enhancing student engagement and retention. This method caters to various learning styles, making education more inclusive.
The virtual school model can be easily scaled to reach more students, allowing for rapid expansion of educational programs across the country.

The success of addressing the education emergency in Pakistan depends on the collaboration of various stakeholders, including international organizations, NGOs, and local communities. We work closely with other NGOs, government bodies, and global partners to pool resources and expertise. This collective effort is crucial for creating a sustainable impact and addressing the crises of education in Pakistan. By uniting efforts, we can ensure that every child in Pakistan has access to quality education, effectively tackling the Pakistan education emergency.
