The National Commission on the Rights of Child (NCRC) highlights that education is a fundamental right, yet 26.2 million children in Pakistan remain out of school. The policy brief identifies key barriers such as poverty, gender inequality, poor infrastructure, and lack of inclusivity, offering actionable policy and practice recommendations to ensure access to quality education for all. It calls for stronger legislation, increased funding, and cross-sectoral collaboration to uphold every child’s right to learn.
