The coronavirus is disrupting education across Pakistan. School students are at home and teachers are trying to support them as best they can, to minimise the disruption to their education. A new website contains over 15,000 resources that will help them to help school age children learn. The links to resources are aligned and updated with the national curriculum of Pakistan, organised by year, subject and topic, making it easy for them to find the resources that they need each day.
