Mansehra Junior Model School

Mansehra Junior Model School was started in April 1999 in Mansehra with 2 teachers and 30 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years.

Mansehra, with a population of approximately half a million people, has several private and government schools. However, the quality of education offered at the government schools is quite poor. The private schools are better managed and offer relatively better quality education, but they are too expensive and beyond the reach of the lower income population.

Mansehra Junior Model School caters to children from low income groups and provides them with an alternative to the poor quality government schools and the expensive private schools. The school is housed in a custom-built building that has a playground, a move that took place in Fall 2004. Uniform, textbooks and stationery are provided free of cost to the children.

As at the Nilore School, there is an emphasis on subjects such as art, an awareness of the environment, and personal hygiene and safety. The subjects that are taught include math, science, Urdu, English and social studies.
