The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) is taking proactive steps to address Pakistan’s education challenges and bring its system up to international standards.
Currently, more than 26.2 million children are out of school, and 40% under the age of 10 do not receive an education. The urgency for action is highlighted by the latest Annual Status of Education Report (ASER-2023), which highlights the importance of higher education in Pakistan.
In response, SIFC is working closely with the federal and provincial governments to reform education policy and address these gaps.
One of the main initiatives of SIFC includes the establishment of technical and vocational training institutions while improving the standard of basic education. These efforts aim to not only improve the quality of Pakistan’s workforce to global standards but also contribute significantly to the international job market.
By actively attracting foreign investors, SIFC strives to export human resources throughout the country, thus facilitating economic growth and development. SIFC aims to bring meaningful change in Pakistan’s education sector through collaboration with stakeholders at all levels.
