Why Reform Government Schools?

Because if we want to fix education in Pakistan, we must fix the system built to serve everyone.

For millions of children, a government school isn’t just a choice, it’s the only one they have.

These schools already stand with classrooms, buildings, and teachers in place waiting to be transformed.

No other institution has the scale, mandate, and moral duty to educate every child, everywhere.

Our Adopted Schools

In the heart of Karachi, two forgotten government schools now stand as living proof that public education can be reimagined and rebuilt. Zindagi Trust turned neglect into opportunity and created thriving spaces where children learn with dignity, purpose, and pride.

What Real Reform Looks Like

Shaping Policy. Protecting Childhood. Reforming Systems.

Our advocacy has led to concrete legislative and policy reforms across child protection, school governance, curriculum design, and teacher development, proving that lasting change begins at the top.

  • Redefining Teacher Evaluations in Sindh
  • Banning Corporal Punishment in Schools

    We believe school should be a place of safety, not fear. Through relentless advocacy, we helped push through a landmark ban on corporal punishment in Sindh and Islamabad - a critical step toward protecting children’s dignity, mental health, and right to learn in peace.

  • Integrating Life Skills into Education

    Children deserve more than textbooks, they need the tools to navigate life. With our support, the Life Skills-Based Education (LSBE) curriculum is now part of public school systems in Sindh and Balochistan, teaching students how to stay safe, speak up, and make empowered choices in a complex world.

  • Consolidating Schools for Better Learning

    By advocating for the merger of fragmented government schools within shared premises, we’ve helped restructure them into stronger, better-resourced institutions.

  • Introducing supplementary syllabus in public schools

    We piloted the use of alternative textbooks at SMB Fatima Jinnah Government School and other public schools, challenging the monopoly of outdated, one-size-fits-all content. This initiative opens the door for richer, more relevant learning experiences and sets the stage for evidence-based curriculum reform across Pakistan.
