Purpose of the Course

This course takes a problem-based approach to the issues of Pakistan's education system, and seeks to teach students how to think strategically about solving for large-scale issues while considering the challenges/ground realities this involves. In particular it looks at both systems at a country level as well as social institutions that must be considered when working towards any solution in the development sector.  This course includes developing a deep understanding of the education space from a policy to a grassroots level; learning how to analyze data for effective decision making; and the importance of theory and social context when developing solutions to systemic problems in the education sector.​
