Executive Summary The project specifically targets early childhood education, enhanced enrolment and learning outcomes of out of school children, children at risk in school and transitions from early childhood education to primary and post primary education for especially girls and vulnerable groups in Pakistan. It is as much informed by the provincial education sector plans as it is by the national/global commitments towards MDGs/EFA and current debates to finalize the post 2015 development agenda, goals and targets. On the one hand, the scope of the project is intensively focused on Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab for all components, whilst on the other selected elements and advocacy are being conducted nationwide. For the first two components, Early Childhood Education and Learning for Access, meetings with provincial and district Departments of Education have been made and memorandum of understanding (MOUs) have been signed between ITA and the Departments of Education. Project staff has been hired and trained and the union councils and schools have been finalized with GPS coordinates. A baseline need assessment survey has been conducted in all selected UCs, specifically the target villages covering selected government and private schools and households. Para teachers have been appointed to work with the school teachers. The project is ready to kick off as soon as the schools open after the summer break. Alongside, meetings for component three and four, Teachers without Frontiers and Learning Metrics Task Force respectively, have been conducted to chalk out our coming up activity plans. A proposal submitted for the facilitation of LMTF 2.0 learning champions in all the provinces of Pakistan has been successfully submitted. For component five, a Children‟s Literature Festival complemented by a Teachers Literature Festival has been held in Karachi (Feb.) and Islamabad in May 2014. Preparations for the upcoming festival in Lahore (Novemer 2014) have started. For component six, an enrolment campaign was held in target districts in April 2014, Global Action Week was held in May, 2014 in Quetta, Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi. Sir Gordon Brown, the Special Global Envoy for Education in United Nations, visited Pakistan in March, 2014; critical initiatives were taken for collaboration with his global umbrella program, A World at School‟s (AWAS) Global Youth Ambassadors for education under which 500 youths will be mobilized for education activism in Pakistan, End to Child Marriages, 500 days of campaigns up to 2015 December focusing on vulnerable children and Girls Education and the Global Business Coalition (GBC) for Education. Plans for upcoming activities are being finalized including a nationwide candlelight vigils in July 2014 for a peaceful protest against the kidnapping of 200 Nigerian girls in Chibok. The Right to Education- Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Perspectives from South Asia conference scheduled for June 4-5 2014 co-hosted with Government of Sindh was postponed due to law and order situation in Karachi – it will now be held on September 16-17th 2014 to coincide with the formal Project Launching. A detailed meeting with stakeholders has been held for the research strategy particularly focused on the first two components (annex 5.2)- the final version will be shared in August after the finalization of the criteria for controlled schools. Evaluators will be engaged both in Pakistan and from the Institute of Education – University of London NARRATIVE INTERIM REPORT January – June 2014 4 II.

Not half of this journey would have been possible without this supervision and leadership. v Abstract Influence of Advertising on Gender Roles and Stereotypes in Pakistan Sarah Fahim, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2018 Supervisor: Wei-Na Lee In a region where the world’s largest mass displacement took place in 1947, socio-political and religious influencers have been long-established drivers of societal evolution. On a historic backdrop, gender roles and stereotypes are embedded in culture and religions of the sub-continent. This research study investigates gender roles and stereotypes in modern-day Pakistan, which was created in 1947 as a result of the partition of British India. Inspiration for this thesis is drawn from personal life experiences and the complex evolution of gender roles in the country.

  • Teachers' Literature Festival Karachi
    Teachers’ Literature Festival Karachi The 11th Children's Literature Festival was held at the Arts Council of Karachi Pakistan on the 21st and 22nd of February 2014. Under the aegis of the Children’s Literature Festival (CLF) the Teachers’ Literature Festival (TLF) was held in Karachi on the 20th of February. With an aim to unlock the power of reading, the festival remained packed with round 2000 teachers from both private and government sector schools. Teachers’ Literature Festival works under 5 main strands which are: 1. Workshops on Creative Writing 2. Workshops on Creative Expression 3. Use of new media in the classrooms 4. Book launches 5. Teachers’ Voices Shaded in various themes of classical and popular literature, various sections of Arts Council Karachi were named like Daastaan Sraa'aay, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Kitab Ghar, Talism-e- Hoshruba, Tot Batot, , Autaaq, Tota Khanani, Shahi-Guzar Gah and CLF Dhaba. Art of Reading with Expression Empowering teachers is not only extremely important but also necessary if we want to raise a generation of ‘Change Agents’. Keeping in mind the psyche of teachers, their aspirations, demands, challenges in teaching and several other aspects, the first ever Teacher’s Literature Festival was a collection of multi-dimensional activities. As the slogan of CLF is ‘Unlocking the Power of Reading’, special attention was given to ‘Art of Reading with Expression’ in which prominent people were invited to not only read poetry with expression to the teachers but also explain the meaning of the poetry, stories to the teachers so that they can further explain it to their students.

Not only are their careers mentally grueling and physically demanding but they also have an added risk of high investment and low returns. The rock genre has struggled to achieve its righteous place in the country whereas folk, qawalli, pop, bhangra and Bollywood music experienced skyrocketing popularity.
