Enable teaching in the native language of children

"Urdu, the language used in the majority of schools, is the mother tongue of only 8% of the country’s population (Coleman and Capstick, 2012). In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, meanwhile, English is being introduced as the language of instruction in schools. Teaching in a language other than the child’s mother tongue, especially in the early years of schooling, is highly inefficient and results in low levels of learning, and high rates of repetition and dropout (HEART, 2011)."
