Pakistan Launches 'No Child Left Behind' Campaign, Targets Full Enrollment in Islamabad

Household mapping with digital dashboards now begins under a 2025–2030 plan to bring out-of-school children into classrooms.

Overview

  • Federal Education Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui announced a nationwide push and launched an ICT-level drive to enroll every out-of-school child.
  • In the federal capital, authorities set a three-year window to identify and enroll the maximum number of children, alongside a pledge of 100% enrollment in Islamabad.
  • The Federal Action Plan 2025–2030 calls for door-to-door identification across union councils, expansion of second shifts, and accelerated learning programs with alternative pathways.
  • Where school buildings are unavailable, the plan provides for classes in mosques or homes to ensure access.
  • Digital dashboards and real-time monitoring will track enrollment and attendance, with resources and community partners mobilized under Article 25-A.
