A Journey to School: One Teacher's Story

Plan’s non-formal education projects are educating over 11,000 girls aged 10-24 across Pakistan. As part of the project, Plan has created a series of Non Formal Education (NFE) Centers in various communities that aim to fast-track the girls’ education to Grade 10 to enable them to learn important life skills and receive a graduation certificate.

Many Pakistani girls drop out of government schools because of poverty or distance. However Plan’s NFE centers are free to attend and are located within close proximity to the communities. The centers even provide a female caretaker who accompanies the girls to school to ensure their safety.

Aisha works as a teacher at one of the local Non Formal Education (NFE) centers in Pakistan and has seen the impact that an education can have on the girls who live in the community. She believes that every girl should have the right to an education. This is her story...

3 end of year gifts your teacher will love!

Another school year has come and gone – lessons learned, tests taken and friendships made. But no one understands this more than your child’s teacher. From September to June, they’ve been there to support the development of all of their students.

Now it’s your chance to give back. But your teacher doesn’t need another coffee mug or a spare stationery set. The best gift for a teacher is one that supports the opportunity for children around the world to get the quality education they deserve.

The teaching gap: Every child needs a teacher

An education without a teacher is like playing on a team without a coach. Teachers provide children with the skills they need to reach their full potential and to shape a brighter future for themselves and their families.

Every child needs a teacher. A quality education means that children are learning in a healthy, safe environment, one that is gender-sensitive and provides children with sufficient resources to facilitate their learning experience. This includes access to quality teachers.

That's why this year, our partners at the Global Campaign for Education are focusing their annualGlobal Action Week on the teaching gap - to help ensure every child realizes their right to education.
