Qurban & Surraya Educational Trust is an Educational Trust located in Lahore providing quality education at the lowest cost possible. The Trust wants to empower the youth of Pakistan so that they can face the challenges of the world.
\nAbaida Mahmood is the trustee and administrator of Qurban & Surraya Educational Trust that works for women\u2019s issues and education. She presents papers at the national and international levels. In 2004 she represented Pakistan at the Geneva IBE conference. She has developed books for teacher training. The Punjab University IER department often sends their teacher trainees to Mrs. Abaida\u2019s institution for training. She is now living in Pakistan but spends a lot of time in the UK for teaching and training purposes.<\/p>\n

She was kind enough to spare some time and enlighten us with her work and aspirations.<\/p>\n

Q: Can you tell us a little about your organization i.e. Qurban and Surraya Education Trust?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can visit the website to explore the trust: Qurban & Surraya Educational Trust www.qurbantrust.edu.pk<\/a>
\nOur purposes are:
\n\u2022 To provide good quality education to all and to prepare them to become good humans so that they can take an effective role in personal, national and international development.
\n\u2022 To provide free education to all orphans and needy.
\n\u2022 To provide free in-service teacher training to all our staff and to offer the program to teachers of other schools, nationally.
\n\u2022 To help parents, especially mothers to learn and develop various skills e.g. child development.
\nMy role as an administrator is to oversee the smooth running of the trust (its four schools and one college).<\/p>\n

Q: In your opinion what is the standard of education in Pakistan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The standard of state schools is not that good but due to private school systems, educational standards are quite high.<\/p>\n

Q: What can be done to improve it? <\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to introduce one system of education which provides equal opportunities to everyone.<\/p>\n

Q: What role can our youth play in improving the standard of education in Pakistan? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of our population is young and that can be our biggest asset provided we allow them to get education and employment.<\/p>\n

Q: How can educating women make Pakistan a stronger and educated nation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Half of the Pakistan population is women and literacy and skills are the way to empower women.<\/p>\n
