DIL began working with the Adult Basic Education Society (ABES) in Rawalpindi in 2002 to set up child-friendly schools. The project centers on the rural communities where access to local government schools is limited. Although the city of Rawalpindi has eleven universities, the district’s literacy rate is only 70.5%.
Over the years, DIL and ABES have worked hard to improve the quality of education in its schools. The staff is encouraged by the higher pass rates, improved classroom management and higher quality academics now found at the DIL-ABES schools.
