Sign the Petition to End Education Emergency in Pakistan
Pakistan is suffering an education emergency, with at least 25 million children denied their constitutional right to an education. Few of those children who do go to school receive the quality education they need to prosper in the modern world. The economic impact of the emergency is catastrophic – billions of rupees a year – while the human cost is much greater.
Let’s join together to force Pakistan’s leaders to finally get serious about providing every child with a decent school and a committed teacher. Sign our petition to make ending the education emergency the country’s no 1 priority.
