These schools are providing free of cost quality education to the children of workers in a conducive and receptive manner, It may be mentioned that WWF is also establishing a large number of schools in far-flung areas of the country to cater for the emerging needs of working class.

Technical Education

With the progress of modern sciences and industry, technical education is receiving great importance and emphasis in all advanced countries of the world. In Pakistan there is a need to develop the skills of our manpower to achieve national self sufficiency and to raise the prevailing standard of life. Along with it, we also need to make efforts to develop positive attitudes among the young generation towards manual work and labour, To develop and maintain an industrial community, it is necessary to have manpower trained in a wide range of skills. Basic education and gainful employment is the constitutional rights of every citizen. Unfortunately, in Pakistan employment situation is alarming and aggravating with passage of time due to high population growth and slow rate of economic development. The lower income particularly the industrial workers and their children are main victims of prevailing unemployment due to lack of their access and opportunities for education and training on account of financial constraints/resources.
