Education

Although education is a top priority for families in Pakistan, about 20 million school-age children do not receive a basic education. The U.S. Government, through USAID, is helping ensure that Pakistan’s children have access to a quality basic education as well as generous opportunities for higher education. Current projects focus on supporting teacher education, expanding the use of technology in the classroom, providing training to administrators in budgeting and finance, providing scholarships, and rehabilitating and reconstructing schools.

Objectives

• Renovate and reconstruct schools
• Increase access to education and improve the quality of teaching
• Provide grants and scholarship for exchanges, research, and higher education
• Foster links between U.S. and Pakistani academic institutions
