Right to Education (RTE) Pakistan

Published On:  Wednesday, April 18, 2018
Right to Education (RTE) Pakistan
RTE is an advocacy campaign for ensuring equal access of every child to quality Education. The RTE campaign stems from the unfortunate status of education in Pakistan depicted by the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER). It functions under the Citizens Movement for Quality Education (CMQE), an initiative of Idara-e-Taleem o Aagahi (ITA).
This campaign urges the government to implement its duty on providing free and compulsory education to ALL children between the ages of 5 -16 years under the constitution. The responsibility is not only to be claimed by the government in the center but also by the provincial legislative bodies as the subject of education has been devolved to Provinces. Additionally RTE aims to mobilize parents, teachers, students/youth and civil society in this struggle to demand free and compulsory Quality Education for ALL children. http://rtepakistan.org/
