EDUCATION: Deprived Children and Education: Pakistan

Summary: In January 2006 Irewoc started a child-based research project on deprived children and education in which the focus is on the realities of the children and their parents. This study aims to deepen the understanding as to why many children do not go to school. Are the reasons economic, cultural or related to the relevance/quality of education? Detailed anthropological fieldwork was carried out in areas with alarming figures regarding non-schooling and illiteracy in Africa (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya), South Asia (Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh).Owner: International Research on Working Children - IREWOCpdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Pakistan_Education.pdf
