Rashid Abdulla 1944 - 2020 TCF pays its deepest respects to the life and contribution of Rashid Abdulla Saheb. who passed away peacefully on the 22nd of November 2020. He was a dear friend. visionary and true pillar of strength for the TCF family. As one of the Co-Founders of TCF and the first Chairman of its Board of Directors, Rashid Abdulla Saheb shared in the organisation's initial vision and participated in setting up TCF'S first five schools in 1995. His continuous support and guidance to the cause was anchored in his belief that no child in Pakistan should be denied quality education because of poverty or discrimination. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of compassion, hope and contribution to the community.

As the first rays of sun touch the water-starved village of Thario Halepoto in Tharparkar, Sindh, 11-year-old Bakhtawar sets off for the long walk to the village well. There, in the stillness of the morning, she fills her empty pitchers with water and hurries back home so she can get ready and be on time for school. "Our village has its share of problems, but things are slowly changing," shares Mohammad Hasan, Bakhtawar's father, who is a primary school teacher at a government boys, school. "Until a few years ago, there wasn't even a single school for girls nearby. I had to travel nearly 30-40 kilometres every day to take my daughters to school - something that most villagers would not do,, he recalls. In 2018, when TCF opened its first school in the heart of the village, hundreds of young girls and boys were enrolled within a short period of time. Hasan's two sons and daughter also go to the same TCF school, which is only a short distance from their home. A student of Class 7, Bakhtawar loves to study Science and dreams of becoming a teacher.

Why Are We Re-lmagining Education? At TCF, we hav8 work8d hard to build a curriculum and train teachers to h8lp our ¢hildr8n und8rstand the conc8Pts in their t8Xtbooks, while developing creativity and critical thinking skills. But we have also recognised the ne8d to promote additional skills that are equally as important to our students, development. These include social skills, sell-regulation and behaviours, prioritising one s well-being and many others- all ol which are critical to succeed in an uncertain environment and cannot be tsught through textbooks alone. How Do We Prepare Our Children for a Future We Cannot Even Imagine Yet? In 2017, TCF hired a team to reimagine the curriculum in one of tts schools in Kara¢hi with an aim to strengthen 21 st Century skills in the 8arfy y8ars. The team, led by graduat8s from prominent schools of 8ducation, pivoted towards a res8arch-bas8d early years education model that emphasised learning through play, student-led hands-on activities, and joyful storytelling. Research shows that the early years are the most critical years when children build cognitive and socio-emotional skills that set the stage for later success. The environment needed for this includes play-based learning and teachers that nurture the whole child rather than just focus on acad8mic skills. Unlik8 a traditional Pakistani school, TCF'S n8w mod81 for 8arfy years gducation 8nab18s childr8n lo d8V81op strong languag8 and communications skills as w811 as an ability to think indep8ndently. Th8 mod81 is designed to be low-cost, contextualised for low-income areas, and scalable across a variety of settings. It is a model for what early years education can look like in Pakistan. TCF'S Early Years Programme Team is continuously creating, implementing, and refining its content and practices. This year, omponents of this 21 st-centurylgarning modgl wgre sca18d to over 1,000 TCF primary classroc)ms in Sindh from Nursery to Grad8 2.

Floor Seating for Our Little Learners Floor seating allows for More space and fl8xibility in instructional approaches. Learning Through Play We have implemented a play-based learning model covering all developmental domains. 'For children to come to school and be given toys instead of textbooks, space to play instead of desks, and empowerment instead of discipline. is revolutionary. TCF students now have access to an education model that is not even available in many private schools in Pakistan. TCF is demonstrating what is possible - not just in Pakistan, but anywhere..

FINDING IDENTITY, EQUITY AND ECONOMIC W. .

What Happens When Children are Taught in a Language They Do Not Understand? Many children in Pakistsn are unable to read a single sentence even after spending years in school. In a country with over 70 native languages, a critical impediment is the language used as medium of instruction. Schooling is reduced to memorising textbooks that children do not understand, thereby hindering intellectual growth and the joy of leaming. Research shows that using an unfamiliar language as the medium of instruction in primary y8ars' curriculums in Pakistan hurts childr8n's ability to learn, to r8ad and to und8rstand concepts. It suggests that learning should b8 In the languag8 that students und8rstand b8St. Scouring the World to Find a Localised Answer In 2018, TCF partner8d wtth th8 Thar Foundation to d8v8lop a mother tongue-based multilingual education IMTB MLI mod81 for schools in the desert region ol Tharparkar, Pakistan. While Sindhi is the provincial language in Tharparkar, the local ptspulation speaks over 13 sub-regional languages. The MTB MLE team spent three years researching and designing a pilot programme for Tharparkar, with the potential to expand across the country. In 2021, TCF proudly published its first resgarch report on education policy. The report, 'Finding Identity, Equity, and Economic Str8ngth by Teaching in Languag8s Childr8n Und8rstand,' is an effort to bridg8 th8 gap b8tWe8n theory and practlC8 by off8ring guidance on designing MT8 MLE programmes lor linguistically heterogeneous contexts. It outlines guiding principles for the development of context-specific language ladders which dictate the proposed language journey of a child's education, beginning with the most familiar language in the early years and gradually incorporating additional languages. Both researchers and those who have implemented MTB MLE have obsetwed that this model benefits children on three critical fronts.. cognitive development, academic achievement and sgnse of identity. Testing the New Approach in Tharparkar In early 2020, TQF began testing its research-based MTB MLE model in 21 classrooms, Starting with pr8-kind8rgarten and kind8rgart8n. As per th8 mod81, students transition through fluency in three to four languages over the course of their education.. from diverse mother tongues IDhatki or Sindhil to the regional language (Sindhil, then the national language (Urdul, and then to an intemational language (English). TGF has already started a gradual graded roll-OLrt of this model in TQF schools supported by the Thar Foundation in Tharparkar. Unlik8 a lot of r8search that preced8S this study, TCF do8S not just insist on a mother tongu8-bas8d approach to education. Instead, it provides pragmatic recommendations lor how Pakistan, and countries like it, can provide mother tongue-based education in contexts where there are multiple languages and where children are expected to learn up to four languages, including English, by the end of secondary school. 'In the last three years. Thar Foundation has been striving to impart quality education in Tharparkar through our 27 school units. It was the community feedback that motivated us to initiate a three-languages learning model in our schools. Thar Foundation (TF) and TCF jointty took this initiative, wherein Thar Foundation funded the 3-year project. We are delighted that students of Thar will now learn in SindhilDhatki at early grades, subsequently adding Urdu and English. TCF has plans to extend this model to all its schools in Sindh which will be a shared pride for us..

RTNERSHIP sc Reformi CF dopte ernment s ,p Students ata TCF-adopted Partnership schoolin Pindi Kahluwan, Punjab, rnawlybullt8nd re ssroom. (2027)
In April 2016, TCF formalised an agreement with the Punjab Education Foundation IPEQ under its Public School Support Programm8 IPSSPI to bring 257 gov8rnm8nt primary schools across 6 districts of th8 provinc8 und8r TGF'S management. Wh8n we look over, these schools were in extremely poor condition- classrooms were in a dismal state with inSLrfficient furniture and basic amenities, inadequate teaching practices and high absenteeism contributing to poor learning outcomes. Improving Education Through Quality Interventions We immediately got to work on improving these schools to deliver quality education and improve student enrolment. Over the years, our teams worked on recruiting competent teachers and principals and providing comprehensive training to help them deliver child-centred lessons. We introduced opportunities to develop cognitive, social and emotional skills with a focus on well-being, provided remedial classes to students in need and engaged with school communities and parents to support children's learning and dev8lopm8nl. Rebuilding Education Infrastructure Education infrastructure plays an important role in facilitating a child's learning and development. TCF'S education model focuses on building purpose-buitt schools, liceracy enriched-classrooms, libraries and laboratories to facilitate meaningful leaming and foster well-being of our children. Th8 infrastructure and faciliti8s of th8 government schools w8re compl8t81y inad8quate for TCF to roll out its tri8d-and-t8St8d 8ducation mod81. To address this, TCF undertook basic r8furbishment and improvements at the schools, but due to limit8d resources we could not provide the school environment we wanted. As a result, we were frequently seeking opportunities to solicit funds lor renovation and invest in infrastructure improvement. In 2019, TCF partner8d with th8 UK For8ign, Commonwealth & Development Offic8 IFCDOI, for the renovation and upgrade ol our Partnership Schools in Punjab. As part ol this commitment, FCDO approved the restoration and building of 600 classrooms across 198 gov8rnm8nt schools in th8 TGF n8twork. Th8y also provided funds to construct 100 separat8 toilets lor boys and girls. The construction work was completed in May 2021. Through our Partnership Programme, we are working towards reforming and reviving government schools across Pakistan with th8 goal of delivering quality education lor the less privileged on a large scale. 'Todayi It's heartening to see my children sit in their newly constructed. colourful classrooms. They have proper ventilation and are designed with ramps and handrails to make them accessible to children with disabilities. New toilets have improved sanitation and my school is now in a much better position to enrol more students., Amna Sadaqat Principal - TCF Partnership School Lohan, Narowal TCF-UK- Ant)ual Report 2021 21

The Cttizens Foundation IUKI was established in 2001 to help raise funds and awareness for TCF, Pakistan's leading charity in the field of formal education for underprivileged children. Over the last 21 years, we have been fortunate to have the unrelenting support and unwavering commitment ol our donors. We have also endeavoured to maintain the highest level of transparency and good governan¢e. Our priority always is to minimise 8XP8nditure in the UK so Ihal we can maximis8 th8 funds w8 InV8St in our 8ducation programm8s in Pakistan. To that end, none of our Trustees in the UK receive any compensation or out of pocket expense reimbursements from the chartty. In 2021, our focus was on addressing the unique challenges we faced, whilst navigating the COVID-19 crisis to sustain our charity and ensure the long-term safety of our students, teachers, and communities in Pakistan. Despite repeated school closures, we made significant progress in growing our network of schools, introducing innovative education interoentions, and improving quality 8ducation across Pakistan. In the UK, we raised a record amount during Ramadan, for which we are greatly indebted to our donors. We also launched our in-house peer-to-peer fundraising platform, which really helped drive donations during virtual events and sports tournaments. The platform also proved to be a fantastic way lor our supporters to raise awareness about TCF and engage their friends and family. As soon as restrictions eased, we shifted our focus to organising outdoor events. These events offered a great opportunity to reconnect with OLJr donors in a r8lax8d 8nvironment. A special thanks to our donors, volunteers and supporters who made all our success possible. We would not have been able to do this without you. 26 Rtimagining Edueation

It is now one of Pakistan's leading organizations in the field of formal education. The vision of TCF is to remove barriers of class and privilege and to make the citizens of Pakistan agents of positive change.

When TCF Alumna Iram began her training with the National Highways and Motorway Police to become a patrol officer, she would hear her relatives tell her mother 'women don't belong there., Raised by a single mother from a young age, life had not been easy for Iram and her sisters. Whilst their mother had enrolled them at a TCF school near their home in Kalabagh, Punjab, Iram's father and relatives did not approve of their education. 'It is a waste of money to educate girls. they said. Along the journey, Iram and her sisters found strength in their mother, who worked day and night as a tailor and domestic worker to provide for her family. "Growing up, there were days when ammi (mother) hardly had any money to buy food. But she told us that these days will pass once we are educated and on our feet,, recalls Iram. "During that time, my school principal, Ms. Saeeda, offered a lot of support through fee concessions for me and my sisters." The day Iram found out that she had aced her training and was appointed a junior patrol officer, she heard from her father after nearly nine years. He called to tell her that he was proud of her. "My duty is more important than my gender," shares Iram. "Women are as important in my field as in any other. It is only a matter of giving our girls the opportunity to learn so that they can take their place in society and make our world a better place." Iram Jabeen

Independent Auditor's Report (continuation) Because of the inherent limitations of an audrt. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregulatities, including those leading to a material misststement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is remov from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to bewme aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is s0 greater regarding iegUlaritieS occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involve5 Intention ConcMent. forgery. collusion. Omion or misrepresentation.
