Reaching Northern Pakistan - Gilgit Pilot Project Training

In April 2025, Phonics Club travelled to Gilgit as part of an important professional literacy initiative supporting educators and participating schools.

The training was conducted at Ibex Resort, Gilgit, by Dr. Fatima Tuz Zahra as part of the wider pilot-project programme.

Developing Sustainable Literacy Practice

Pilot projects provide an opportunity not only to introduce new approaches but to study and support how these approaches operate within real educational environments.

The Gilgit programme focused on building educators understanding of structured phonics instruction while supporting practical implementation.

Areas of Focus

• Teacher capacity building
• Early literacy development
• Structured phonics instruction
• Practical classroom strategies
• Sustainable implementation
• Professional collaboration

Extending Access to Professional Development

Bringing teacher development opportunities to different regions of Pakistan is an important part of Phonics Club's work.

The Gilgit training reflected our commitment to supporting educators wherever they are working to strengthen children's literacy outcomes.
