The Bright Future Initiative is the Education program of PWS. Since education plays the role of a kingpin in human life, therefore, PWS takes it ahead with tremendous zeal to support UN-SDG – 4 which reflects an emphasis on “inclusive and equitable quality education as well as lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
In line with Article 25-A of the Constitution of Pakistan, all children between 5 -16 years old will be provided free and compulsory education. Resource dearth and lack of awareness among the masses are the main impediments to the enrollment and retention of children in schools. A massive number of 22.6 million children (44 percent between 5 to 16 years of age) are out of school. Nearly 21 percent of primary schools in the country are run by a single teacher per school. About 14 percent of these schools are single-roomed. Infrastructure and associated problems are the other hindrances in this regard.
