Tracing Child Migrants Education Access Amidst Climate Induced Disruptions in Pakistan

Study Overview

This research investigates the impact of climate-induced disruptive events on the educational access, continuity, and quality for climate-induced child migrants (CCMs) residing in urban and peri-urban Pakistan. Focusing on marginalised areas hosting CCMs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh, the study explores systemic challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, teacher shortages, enrolment difficulties due to missing/destroyed documentation, and socio-cultural barriers like gender disparities, financial pressures, and ethnoreligious discrimination. The study generates actionable evidence on the effects of disruptive climate events on educational continuity, access and quality of education for CCM, and identifies policy strategies for inclusive and resilient education systems.
