Towards a Resilient Education Recovery from Pakistan's Floods

PCE convened a high-level policy discussion with education experts, champions, and government representatives to launch a rapid research report, Towards a Resilient Education Recovery from Pakistan's Floods. The report was authored by Dr. Moizza B. Sarwar, development expert and Research Associate at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford, and produced in collaboration with the Education Champions Network, with support from the Malala Fund.

Experts highlighted the urgency of immediate action to address the significant learning losses that occurred during the floods, and pressed for a flood-resilient education system capable of preventing such disruption in future calamities. Above all, they emphasised the need for rigorous coordination between district, federal, and provincial governments to recover learning losses and strengthen educational infrastructure, warning that without such measures, the long-term impact of natural disasters on the education system, and on the futures of young students, could be devastating.
