Speaking about the urgent need for investment in education, Zaffar A. Khan, Chairman and Head of the Golf Committee, said Pakistan’s limited national progress is linked to inadequate focus on strengthening the education system.
For three decades, TCF has worked to break cycles of poverty through schooling. Today, its education network includes 2,261 school units nationwide, reaching 320,000 students and supported by a dedicated all-female faculty of 16,500 teachers.

Organisers said such progress has been possible due to sustained support from donors, partners and individuals who believe in TCF’s long-term vision of empowering communities through education and expanding opportunities for children.
