Access to quality education is fundamental rights of all but still there are millions of children deprived of access to quality education at Primary and secondary level. There are 25 million out of school children in Pakistan of age five to sixteen and there are around 6 million out of school children of same age group in Sindh province majority of them are girls. I have been working in Sindh Education Foundation for 10 years. Being someone who belongs to lower economic background from the most deprived area of the country where the literacy rate is merely 18%, child mortality rate is one of the highest in district Tharparkar, poverty rate is higher than other parts of the country, and most of the people do not have access to balance diet or they rarely eat three times a day. I was curious and meanwhile known to the fact that what development involves and what developing economies are doing than those which are not. The answer was clear; it is only the Quality Education that creates skilled human capital for Socio-economic development and prosperity of the developing countries. During my work experience, I have actively participated to understand the education system at primary and secondary level in deprived areas of Sindh. I had great opportunity travelling to fur-flung areas of Sindh, my passion for driving change to work for humble community and promoting education in rural areas have motivated me to understand every possible aspects of education, become keen learner, and work harder for significant contribution for the betterment of people from deprived areas of Sindh. Now education has become my passion and I would like to promote education through the skills and knowledge possess. I believe this is the great opportunity to spread the message of education through this contest.
