Researchers have primarily studied how young kids learn in Western countries like the US and UK. They use that information to decide how to teach children in other countries because there is very less research in these countries, especially Pakistan. That is why we're doing research in Pakistani katchi classes, preschools and nurseries to understand what makes learning better for Pakistani children. We're looking at things like how teachers teach and how kids develop skills like language, numbers, problem-solving, etc. By understanding this, we can find ways to make education in Pakistan even better for young people.

​

We are inviting over 500 children and 40 teachers from private and public schools in Karachi to take part in the research study. We are inviting numerous schools from all 7 districts of Karachi to take part. The data collection phase of the study is expected to last until June 2024. Findings from this study will be used to inform future research and build programmes to support Pakistani children and teachers.

For this project, we are offering paid internship opportunities for up to 8 individuals (applications closed). Find out more about the project's team using the link below. We are also working with Pakistani research experts and teachers to ensure that our project is culturally appropriate. Visit our Twitter to find out more project updates.
