Muhammad Umair, aged 34, is Project Lead CCE (Creativity, Culture and Education) at the CARE Foundation.
I went to the CARE adopted city district boy’s school, Quila Lachman in Lahore. My family could not afford a private school, so I had to go to the nearest government school.
The education I had at the start of my school years was very different until CARE adopted the school. Before then, the quality of education was not good. There were issues with government schools everywhere. Different classes were merged because of a shortage of teachers, and sometimes teachers didn’t even turn up.
