- Goal: Design teacher-coaching systems that improve literacy outcomes in under-resourced districts.

## CV Before Scholgo

- Coached 86 teachers across 14 government schools, improving Grade 4 literacy checkpoint scores by 19% in one academic year.

- Managed a teacher-training budget of PKR 4.2M with transparent reporting to donors and district partners.

## Cover Letter Excerpt

My work sits between classroom practice and district-level policy: I have seen how a weak coaching loop wastes training budgets without changing student outcomes.

The Commonwealth Scholarship would let me study education policy with enough rigor to design teacher-development systems that ministries can actually implement.

After the programme, I plan to return to Pakistan and work with public-sector partners on scalable literacy coaching models.

## Supplemental Essay Drafts

### Development impact statement (500 words)

Pakistan's literacy challenge is not only a classroom problem; it is a systems problem. Training sessions fail when coaches cannot observe practice, give actionable feedback, or track whether teachers change behavior.

### Leadership and networks (500 words)

I built trust with district officers by showing results before asking for policy attention. My network includes teachers, NGO partners, and education officials who need tools that fit real school constraints.
