No country can thrive in the modern world without educating its children.
But Pakistan faces an education emergency that has disastrous social and economic consequences, and threatens the security of the country.
We believe it is now time to end this emergency.
Under the 18th amendment, which received Presidential assent on 19 April 2010, education is no longer a privilege, but a fundamental right for all up to the age of sixteen.
Provinces, meanwhile, now have full responsibility for developing plans to ensure that every child is able to go to a decent school.
That is why we ask you to help us make March the month that Pakistan talks about only two things: education and cricket.
We want to start a debate about the how the country can unite across political, religious, and ethnic divides – dedicating itself to a cause that will determine its future.
Please join us in the March for Education.
