This year, we were honoured to welcome Abid Gill, TAKMIL Pakistan Board Member, whose nearly three decades of dedication to educational advocacy, strategic reforms, and programs for out-of-school children have made him a valuable part of Pakistan’s education landscape.
Through his leadership at TAKMIL Pakistan, Abid Gill has contributed to several critical areas of our mission, including:
📚 Curriculum Recognition: Leading efforts toward the approval and accreditation of TAKMIL’s Accelerated One-Year Primary Curriculum by the National Curriculum Council.
🎓 Pathways to Formal Education: Advancing certification and accreditation pathways that help TAKMIL graduates from non-formal education transition into the formal education system.
🤝 Identifying Children Left Behind: Liaising with non-formal literacy departments to identify and map out-of-school children, helping ensure that those most in need are not overlooked.
Beyond TAKMIL, he currently serves as Chief Advisor to AQAL with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and remains actively engaged in multiple educational forums.
His presence at our 5th Annual TAKMIL Calgary Event was a reminder that addressing Pakistan’s education crisis requires more than awareness — it requires sustained advocacy, strategic collaboration, policy reform, and collective action.
Pakistan continues to face an immense challenge in ensuring that every child has access to education. No single organization can solve this crisis alone. We need educators, policymakers, communities, and advocates working together to change the future of our children.
At TAKMIL, we are grateful to have leaders like Abid Gill contributing their experience and dedication to our shared vision of Zero Out-of-School Children in Pakistan. ❤️
Because every child deserves a first chance at education, and every effort counts toward making that vision a reality.
