Teach For Pakistan is a nationwide movement of graduates and young professionals who will commit two years to teach in under-resourced schools and go on to become lifelong leaders working from across all fields to expand educational opportunity.
The Teach For Pakistan Fellowship is a full-time, paid position that will allow participants to develop leadership and professional skills that are highly transferable from teaching to other fields including public policy, business, management and journalism. This experience is compatible with the pursuit of a very broad range of personal and professional goals, and can increase participants' ability to make an impact in the long run. Throughout the two years, Fellows will be provided on-going teaching support as well as various networking and mentoring opportunities for professional and career development.

Short term.. Transformational aspect.. Learning and transformation for both the students and the teachers.
Transition: Why has there been no change in the Educational sector in Pakistan? The state is unresponsive and the non-state actions even though are well-intentioned- however, no scalability or sustainability. It’s mostly “feel good” work…. However, educational inequity is a problem faced by various countries. The Teach for All model has been found to workThe mission that unifies members of Teach for All is to enlist nations’ most promising future leaders in the effort to address educational need by recruiting top graduates to commit to years to teach in high-need schools and to work throughout their lives, from inside and outside of education, to address the root causes of the problem.
Over 17,000 alumni in all sectors are winning some of the highest accolades teachers can win, running some of the best performing school in urban and rural areas, pioneering change as social entrepreneurs and school system superintendents, and supporting reform as elected officials, policy advisors, business people and committed citizens

I’d like to share one last statistic with you: currently, the population of Pakistan 180 million. By the mid-21st century, it will be 340 million, and unlike India and China, its populations will still be rising. It will be a young population at a time when most of the rest of the world will be ageing.
