Applying Behavioral Insights to Activate Parental Engagement
The longevity, diversity and complexity of the learning crisis in Pakistan warrants unpacking this area of national importance with much greater rigour.

To do so, we have employed behavioral science insights to diagnose factors that can help redesign the learning equation—not just in Pakistan but far beyond.
