In spite of the low-cost of operation, the quality of education was increased gradually to the point that our students now have guaranteed admission in the government and private primary schools. Our after-school program has produced tremendous results retaining the children in school and improving their grades. The 5th grade results of our students in the national PSC exams show a very high pass rate.
Our earliest students are going in the 11th grade. I have provided the projection for the next 5, 10, and 15 years in my book showing the possibilities as we continue our operations.
We are not complacent or basking on our success. In fact, this is the beginning and we have a long way to go. There are about half a million children under the age of 5 the world over who can use our model to get into the educational system.
We have possibilities of significant inroads in the Philadelphila inner city with 50 DoPeace Learning Centers. In the extremely poor neighborhoods in Karachi we would have 5 DoPeace Learning Centers by the end of November. Much more work is required in that part of the world.
We are vigilant, we are active, and we have laser focus on our mission. The disadvantaged and poor children have the right to get education, and we will continue to do our part.
