Pakistan’s Biggest Challenge: Turning Around a Broken Education System

Image removed.

Over a third of Pakistan’s population is under the age of 15, yet it has the world’s second-highest number of children out of school. Pakistan’s youth could be the nation’s greatest asset—or its biggest liability. Turning around Pakistan’s broken education system holds the key to a more peaceful and prosperous future for a country in one of the world’s most volatile regions.

This conference has been made possible through the generosity of The Citizens Foundation of Pakistan. It is being co-sponsored by the Wilson Center’s Asia Program.

RSVPs are required. Please RSVP at this link or by emailing asia@wilsoncenter.org.
