Poverty is not the hurdle to move forward.

@Ahsan717f741f8d Prioritizing accessible and high-quality education for all, regardless of socioeconomic background, is crucial for breaking the cycle of poverty.

Deeply touching.
In my school too, despite a poor environment and very limited resources, students show a hunger for knowledge that no hardship can silence.
But sadly, their social environment does not support them.
And we, as teachers, offer more than just lessons; we offer hope, dignity, and belief in their future.

Together, with heart, solidarity,and with the support of the UNESCO and action, we can transform poverty into possibility.

@Mariya Poverty can mean families struggle to afford school supplies, uniforms, transportation, and even basic necessities, making it difficult for children to attend school regularly and focus on learning.

@Sanaa Schools in impoverished areas may lack resources, qualified teachers, and modern facilities, leading to lower quality education.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 In some cases, children are forced to work to support their families, preventing them from attending school.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 Poverty can exacerbate existing educational inequalities, such as those based on gender, race, or disability.

@NIMRAf294db641d Children in poverty may face stigma and discrimination in schools, which can negatively impact their self-esteem and academic performance.

@Quratulain Education empowers individuals to make informed decisions about health, leading to better health outcomes for themselves and their families.

@TANIA2a4b8fae35 Governments and organizations must prioritize education, especially for those living in poverty, by providing funding for quality schools, teacher training, and educational resources.

@Shaista-Begum hardly can anyone doubt the resilience and determination of children at school. But we can not underestimate the impact of socio-economic factors on learning and development. Pakistan has second most out of school children in the world. Unavailability of schools along with reluctance of parents to send children to school is a grim reality that we can not ignore. Kids are either working or busy helping families fulfil financial needs when they should be in school. Poverty is a major hurdle proved by various credible studies. Physical and safety needs are primary in Maslow need hierarchy order. If they remain unfulfilled higher order needs (self esteem and self actualisation) will be difficult to achieve. Uplifting the poor is fundamental if we are to compete regionally or globally. As we know education is not just being available in school but rather skilled and adept to new tools as and when they are introduced.

@Shaista-Begum Indeed, limited resources in impoverished areas can hinder student learning and growth. To bridge this gap, schools can focus on low-cost teaching strategies, community partnerships, and teacher training programs that make the most of available materials and promote inclusive, creative education.

@TANIA2a4b8fae35 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

@Sanaa
Absolutely! It's inspiring to witness the resilience and dedication of our students. Their passion for learning, even in tough circumstances, reminds us why our role as educators is so important. By providing a nurturing environment and working together with families and the community, we can truly help shape a brighter and more successful future for every child.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47
You’ve shared a powerful perspective. Indeed, mindset plays a crucial role in shaping our actions and outcomes. While poverty is a real challenge for many, the 21st century has shown that with passion, willpower, and consistency, individuals can break barriers and transform their lives. A strong, positive mindset can spark change—not only in personal behavior but also in how society perceives and treats us. Believing in our potential is the first step toward overcoming limitations and achieving success.

@HIRAC405752f6f0
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! It’s truly rewarding to see our students grow despite the odds, and it motivates us to keep striving for their success. We believe that every child has immense potential, and with the right support and care, they can achieve great things. As educators, it's our duty and honor to be part of their journey. Together, through dedication and grassroots efforts, we can shape a brighter, stronger future for our nation.

@Quratulain
Absolutely! Poverty may create hurdles, but it cannot limit a determined and focused mind. History is full of examples where individuals have transformed their lives through education, perseverance, and a strong will. A positive mindset, coupled with community support and equal opportunities, can empower anyone to rise above challenges and reach their full potential. It all starts with belief in oneself.

@HAZAR0c50a82765
Truly heartfelt and inspiring. Your words reflect the true spirit of teaching. When students are driven by a thirst for knowledge despite their circumstances, it becomes our responsibility—and privilege—to stand by them. As teachers, we become their source of hope, confidence, and strength. With collective effort, compassion, and the support of organizations like UNESCO, we can bridge the gap between poverty and possibility, lighting the path to a brighter, more equitable future for every child.

@Shaista-Begum
Your message is deeply moving and speaks volumes about your dedication as an educator. It’s true—when resources are scarce, the role of a teacher becomes even more powerful. By offering not just knowledge but hope and encouragement, you’re planting seeds of change in the hearts of your students. With unity, compassion, and support from platforms like UNESCO, we can indeed turn limitations into opportunities and transform poverty into possibility. Your commitment is truly commendable.

@Ridafatima95
That's right
Despite widespread poverty in Pakistan, many children eagerly pursue education, overcoming tough challenges like lack of resources and long distances. Their dedication is inspiring and shows hope for a better future. To support them, all sectors must unite to improve education. In my school, teachers and administration work sincerely to uplift students, shaping a brighter tomorrow.
