Slow Learners

The school for Slow Learners was established to address the needs of those children who do not fall under the category of Special Needs, and yet cannot cope in mainstream schools.

Thirty years ago, and to a large extent to this day, no provision has been made in Pakistan’s education system to help these children, who would become the school dropouts, often turning to delinquency and petty crimes.

Our aim is to help them develop sufficient academic skills and abilities to reintegrate to a main stream school setting, or else to develop sufficient vocational skills to be able to become financially independent.
