Reading Project being implemented by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and its partners is a five-year 160 million dollar project with an objective to support the provincial/regional departments of education (DoE) throughout Pakistan to improve the reading skills of 4 million children. The project will achieve this goal through three distinct but interrelated components that will work in synergy to affect the quality of primary education, including teacher education, policy reforms and community engagement to ultimately reestablish a national culture of reading in Pakistan.
