The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the largest education emergency in history, disproportionally impacting the most vulnerable children – especially girls. Pakistan has now been ranked 10th among 12 countries that are at extreme risk of school dropouts and learning inequalities.

Insights from previous epidemics have shown that in crises such as COVID-19 girls are the first ones to drop out. Economic, social and cultural pressures prevent them from returning to school – putting their hopes, dreams and future at risk!

TCF has always believed that education is the key to women’s empowerment. Offering our girls the best education at all levels not only ensures that they live happier and healthier lives themselves but also raise healthier children and contribute towards the prosperity of their families, communities and the nation. As TCF schools reopen across the country, our principals and teachers are actively engaging with parents to ensure that all our students, particularly girls, return to school and resume learning.
