Teachers are considered integral to the fabric of society but, unfortunately, our society does little to honour them. In Pakistan, teachers have poor working conditions, uncertain promotions and frequent delays in salary payments.
Pakistan has the world's second-highest number of out-of-school children where an estimated 22.8 million children between 5 to 16 years of age are not attending school representing 44pc of the total population in this age group. Many poor Pakistani families cannot afford to send their children to school. Why? Because parents still have to pay for transport, clothing, and school materials. For rural families, this is just impossible.
Technically, every Pakistani child should have access to free school, between the ages of 5 and 16. In reality though, the government spends 7 times as much on the military as it does on its education system. Because of this, schooling infrastructure is in shambles and teachers are unqualified.
