Prioritising Education whether in a crisis or not

After one of the worst floods in the nation’s history destroyed and damaged nearly 27,000 schools, more than 2 million students in Pakistan remain without schools and formal learning. Schools play a pivotal role in ensuring that children have access to emotional support, psycho-social health, and immunisation in addition to serving as places of learning.

Community World Service Asia in collaboration with School Education and Literacy Department (SELD) conducted Play Based Learning Sessions in Temporary Learning Centers (TLCs) with students affected by floods and rains. These sessions strengthened the process of building resilience by engaging children in play based learning as a possible coping mechanism post crisis and trauma.
