I'm Mohammad Haris and I have my team members with me as well Ali Shan Fasih, Saif and Ahmi Lone. We're basically here to ask you some questions regarding a main topic or a main narrative about illiteracy present in the underprivileged youth. We believe that is a great issue currently prevailing in Pakistan, and we hope to discuss it with you in a manner that we get educated. So does the public that is seeing this video. So, uh, sorry for taking your time, but how are you doing, ma'am? Speaker 2 (00:41) I'm doing fine. How are you? Speaker 1 (00:43) I'm doing good, too. So the first question we have is that what do you define as illiteracy? Speaker 2 (00:50) Illiteracy is basically the inability to read or write to comprehend what is in front of you. It is also the ability to understand what is going on around you. People with different opinions, people with different backgrounds, people from all over the country, specifically in Pakistan, even if they have the ability to read or write, even if they have been to universities and colleges, do in at the end of the day, will show us the traits of someone who is illiterate. Speaker 3 (01:20) What do you think are the major factors causing an increase in the illiteracy rate of the youth? Speaker 2 (01:25) I think the first one that we should or everyone should talk about is the poverty rate or the economic crisis that the country is facing, specifically in Pakistan. Other than that, it does come with other things. For example, education. You have to provide basics like curriculum with books, uniforms, infrastructure, conveyance. All of these things are very, very important. So the reluctance to go into education, along with the economic crisis that comes into it and along with the issues of infrastructure, convenience or just the social stigma, especially around girls education, all of these things, at the end of the day, contribute to your illiteracy rate that's been increasing in the country. Speaker 1 (02:05) All right. Thank you so much, ma'am. Now our next question is actually similar to something you mentioned, social stigmas. So what are the social stigmas that are associated with education for children in Pakistan? Speaker 2 (02:18) Thank you so much for the question. A very good question. I would say let's break it down. There are families, especially poor people, who brought their children in the world so that they could work. Even if you tell those people to send their kids to schools, I would say that it's one less person earning for their family. So labor, child labor associated with poverty. One of the major things next comes the especially with relation in relation to girls is the women education. They have their reasons. It could be cultural, it could be religious, it could be any other reason. But at the end of the day, that particular thing, this contributing to the country's electricity. Speaker 1 (03:02) Thank you for the delightful answer. We would like to ask, what are the possible initiatives individuals like us can take towards the cause? Speaker 2 (03:10) I would answer this question with an example. Last month I went to a an event that was organized by Pakistan Girls Guide Association in one of their schools. Now there I found out that students of ninth grade, eighth grade have actually helped students their ages from underprivileged backgrounds get into school and start getting education. You can talk to them even if they're not interested in, let's just say, getting a formal education. You can help them get a vocational education, learn any skill, and what would that end up doing? It would help them get out of the particular situation that they are in. You can start small, just small steps, one person at a time, even if that one person, if that one convincing takes a year, even if it takes two years. At the end of the day, at the end of that particular journey, at the end of that tunnel, if you are helping that particular kid get education, get admission in a particular school, or get a good life, it will end up helping them. Speaker 2 (04:16) So you can take initiatives, you can help them. It's it all comes down to intentions. It all comes down to, well. Speaker 1 (04:24) What are the current government or government affiliated NGOs trying to do or trying to help the cause and trying to help reduce the illiteracy rates as a. Speaker 2 (04:35) Whole? Now, government in general, they have tried helping these students. They have tried helping these underprivileged people to get into the education system. What were those initiatives? Getting them free education, reducing their fees, fees in the government schools, providing them with books, providing them with bags, providing them with uniforms? I would say one of the experiences that I've had during my training was with, uh, it is an NGO in Lahore that helps underprivileged people. One of the things that they do is they help people. People get admitted. People from underprivileged background get admitted into government schools. One of the one of the institutes that I'm dealing with is, uh, any of its National Education Foundation. What do they do? They give them every single facility that they need. They reduce their fee. They give them free books. They give them free uniforms. And this what what does it do? At the end of the day, it helps them get admission. It helps them get the education that they need. Speaker 2 (05:37) So it's not that the government is not doing anything. The government is doing what it can to whatever level they can. So government is helping them use NGOs, all of them in association with the association of the government. They do end up helping these kids. Thank you so much. Speaker 1 (05:54) All right. Thank you so much, man. We really appreciated really appreciate your insights and all the information that you've given us. Inshallah, we'll be able to help change lives. We'll be able to raise awareness and our motive will come to fruition. Thank you so much Speaker 2 (06:07) Welcome Inshallah.
