SAQE’s mission is to institutionalize free, quality education for all by bridging policy gaps and combining research, evidence-based advocacy, and policy dialogue. Through its flagship network founded in 2025, Pakistan Coalition for Education (PCE), SAQE has been working on evidence-  \nbased education policy reforms for the past two decades, cultivating an extensive network spanning 65 districts and 1,500 Union Councils nationwide. SAQE is a member of the Network for Education Systems Transformation (NEST) . The principal leads of this report partnered with the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution as part of the NEST Pakistan study.  \nLEARNING WHAT MATTERS IN SOUTH AFRICA 2  \nABOUT THiS SERiES1  \nHow well are education systems creating opportunities for children and young people to learn what matters?  \nEducation systems worldwide face  \nmounting pressure to prepare children and young people not just for academic success, but for meaningful participation in an increasingly complex world (UNESCO 2023) . Growing evidence suggests that to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, children and young people need a broad set of skills, including but not limited to literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, socioemotional learning, and civic engagement (Dweck, Walton, and Cohen 2014; Martinez 2022; Radó 2020) .  \nThe Network for Education Systems Transformation (NEST), a global impact network2 co-led by the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution and ten civil society organizations across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia, seeks to understand how education systems can transform  \nto prioritize a “breadth of skills”  \n—an integrated set of academic, socioemotional, and transversal competencies that enable all children and young people to thrive (Care, Anderson, and Kim 2016; UNESCO n.d.) .  \nCentral to our w","cbCaivuINm3qwq4d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivuINm3qwq4d","pdf",648904,32,"English","# About SAQE\n# About this Series\n# Framing Our Inquiry: The 4 Ps and 3 Cs as Working Frameworks\n# Acknowledgements\n# Acronyms","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the report in Pakistan?\",\"answer\":\"It explores how education systems can be transformed to help children and young people learn what matters by prioritizing a breadth of skills.\"},{\"question\":\"Which organizations are highlighted as key contributors?\",\"answer\":\"The report centers on SAQE and the Network for Education Systems Transformation (NEST), with research support from the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution and backing from partners including the LEGO Foundation.\"},{\"question\":\"What frameworks guide the inquiry in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report uses two interconnected frameworks: the 4P framework (purpose, pedagogy, positioning, power) and the 3C framework (commitment, capacity, cohesion).\"}]","Learning What Matters in Pakistan - Rethinking Skills and Education Systems Transformation | PDF",1792046953,81]
