There are many reasons for the low literacy rate in Pakistan such as poverty, population expansion, feudal lords and wadera system, low allocation of budget for education, male dominated society and lack of schools in rural areas.
In Pakistan 40% people are living below poverty line. According to UNICEF 17.6% children work and support their families. Feudal system is a big obstacle in the identification of dream of better literacy rate. Statistics show that there are great inequality in the country on the basis of gender, class and region. Women’s education is not considered important as that of men’s education.
Pakistan is spending less than 2% of GDP on education. In these circumstances how it is possible for Pakistan to improve its literacy rate. “Free education is the right of every person”.
Education should be the basis of the society. EC is committed to the cause of providing basic quality education in some of the most impoverished and deprived areas of community. Every little voice is heard and valued at the platform of EC.
EC is conducting spoken English language classes and basic computer classes for underprivileged children.
Initially, because of the lack of funds, EC,s focus is on primary education. SBDF is providing bags, books, note books, stationary and uniforms to its school students and children of slum areas. We nurture moral values of compassion, prayers, sympathy and humbleness in our students as it has a greater impact on their personal lives. Teachers are treated with love and care so that they treat the students in the same way. Teachers are happy in our healthy environment and working with zeal, fervor, sincerity and assiduity.
