Join the “Fight for Freedom”

Karachi, August 14, 2021 (PPI-OT):Today is the day to celebrate Pakistan’s independence. Generations in the sub-continent, before 1947, deliberated, fought, and gave the great gift of freedom.

It’s time that we fight again for freedom, not from tyranny or oppression — but from despondency, despair, and poverty.

Umer Ashraf, a student of class 10 at a TCF school in the small town of Shah Faisal in the outskirts of Karachi is fighting. Since the death of his father when he was just 10, he took on the responsibility to support the family with his mother. He works at an auto workshop, along with learning at his TCF School. He wants to become an Engineer.

Hundreds and thousands of brilliant children like Umer, across Pakistan, are fighting for their dreams and working hard to achieve them. With TCF, please join them in their fight for freedom to create a better life through education.

“TCF’s commitment and passion are awe-inspiring and the transformational impact on so many young people’s lives is phenomenal. I am keen to support TCF – here in Pakistan and in developing its diaspora links in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and am setting out on my own fundraising campaign. I am running in the Manchester Marathon to promote TCF and its noble cause of education.” – Mike Nithavrianakis.

Jazz and TCF to digitally transform over 1,600 schools nationwide

Karachi, June 23, 2021 (PPI-OT):Jazz, the country’s leading 4G operator and internet and broadband service provider, has collaborated with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) to digitally transform 1,652 TCF schools, to benefit over 266,000 students in Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It will also help replace aging tablets and mobile phones that run the TCF’s School Management Application allowing principals to collect data more efficiently.

According to details, the three years collaboration will introduce a blended learning curriculum, revamp of computer labs, and a digital school management system. By revamping the existing computer labs and installing 500 battery-powered audio-visual rooms, TCF will introduce a new, cutting-edge digital literacy curriculum designed for blended learning. Teachers will combine online educational materials with traditional place-based classroom methods to illustrate concepts that are described in the textbooks. 3,584 TCF teachers will also be trained to use this state-of-the-art technology.

Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, President and CEO of TCF, said, “Every child deserves and can have a 21st-century education. We have been experimenting with ways to use technology to support learning for many years. Jazz’s support comes at the right time for us to be able to introduce new solutions, which are a model for what is possible in Pakistan.”

“Our support of TCF over the years is based on the mutually inclusive objective of empowering the youth with quality education and skill set that compliments this digital age. We are enabling TCF to complete its digital transformation to provide a robust learning experience that is relevant, valuable, and builds digital-age skills,” added Syed Fakhar Ahmed, Chief Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Officer at Jazz.

He said the Jazz, being driven by the impetus to digitally empower the youth and to assist the government in realising its Digital Pakistan vision, would continue to club its resources and expertise in creating long-term, sustainable solutions and partnerships that uplift individuals and the larger community.
