Due to Covid-19 school closures, Pakistan faced a heightened risk of more children dropping out, especially in public schools where over 60% of students attend. Private schools adapted with distance learning, but digital isolation in public schools, lacking access to technology, posed a threat, particularly for girls. The DOSTI project, part of the British Council's ILMPossible program, aimed to retain students and in the face of pandemic-induced disruptions, there was a need for learning activities at home for digitally-isolated children. The British Council found EAA's IFERB ideal and implemented 12 projects in 10 districts, focusing on communities severely affected by the lack of education access. Targeting 1,000 students, the IFERB pilot aimed to bridge the learning gap caused by school closures and ensure continued learning for public primary school students despite safety measures imposed due to the pandemic.
