Providing Education to the Deserving

By Aazer Durrani | Head of Marketing

With the COVID-19 pandemic engendering massive socio-economic disruptions in an unprecedented manner, education systems — significant social institutions — have been adversely impacted worldwide. While confronting a series of ills ailing its structure for many decades, the existing educational crisis in Pakistan was exacerbated by the pandemic starting in late February 2020, when Pakistan recorded its first cases. One of the first steps taken by the authorities in Pakistan to prevent the spread of COVID-19 was the closure of educational institutions.

 

It cannot be ignored that education holds immense significance for any nation to prosper and develop. But COVID-19 has dismantled traditional educational infrastructure as lockdowns were implemented which restricted the ability of the students to learn in an effective physical setting. Certainly, a sudden shift toward digital classrooms led to disturbances for students and teachers alike. The training of teachers, digital experience of students and other associated matters such as internet access, computer availability and so on also played a role.

 

The problems associated with the education system of Pakistan are lack of adequate budget, lack of policy implementation, defective examination system, poor physical facilities, lack of teacher quality, lack of implementation of education policies, directionless education, low enrollment, high scale dropouts, political interference, outdated curriculum, corruption, poor management and supervision, lack of research, and lack of uniformity. The above mentioned problems could be solved by formulation of rational policies and plan and by ensuring proper implementation of the policies. Education is a nourishing force. It is the constructive factor for any society. Education enables people to work for their development and growth. Hence education brings out the hidden potentialities of individuals and develops them.

 

Students belonging to the poverty stricken areas are worse off when it comes to accessing education owing to lack of facilities. Our major concern is that we are in process of building the college building in an area where the entire student body is affected due to lack of facilities. Around 48 percent of schools in the country do not have toilets, boundary walls, electricity and drinking water while Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkwa (K-P) are ahead of the other two provinces – Sindh and Balochistan – on various educational parameters.

 

Even during the COVID19 Pandemic, we are working on the construction and eyeing to complete the project which is taking more time than usual due to lack of funds. 

 

With the challenges mentioned above, NUR Foundation started its schools in the year 1996 and since then, it has not only took 18000 children out of the dark holes of illiteracy but also helped them in attaining jobs to earn a respectable living. However, the current schools are not sufficient to cater to the needs of the rising number of students. Hence, in pursuit of its mission of providing free education to the underprivileged in Malikpur, NUR Foundation has started the project of constructing a College building for them. In order to finance the building, generous donations from our esteemed donors are necessary.

 

Given below is the breakdown of the funds that we require to start the college: 

 

Furniture: Rs. 1,540,000 = USD 10,000
Computer Lab: Rs. 550,000 = USD 3,500
Science Lab: Rs. 350,000 = USD 2.250
Library: Rs. 500,000 = USD 3,250
Play Area: Rs. 200,000 = USD 1,300
Cafeteria: Rs. 100,000 = USD 645
Mosque: Rs. 200,000 = USD 1,300
Conference Room: Rs. 150,000 = USD 970
Principal Office: Rs. 200,000 = USD 1,300
Boundary Wall: Rs. 2,700,000 = USD 1,710
Guard Cabin: Rs. 30,000 = USD 200

Your valued support has been our biggest support and we urge our donors to continue supporting out cause. Our students are waiting for the College to start functioning and this can only happen if our donors support us.

 

Thank you!
