TCF is a professionally managed, non-profit organization set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned with the dismal state of education in Pakistan. It is now one of Pakistan’s leading organizations in the field of formal education. As of August 2008 TCF has established 530 purpose-built schools nationwide with an enrollment of about 65,000 students.
TCF encourages gender diversity by ensuring 50% female enrolment and a full female faculty of over 3,550 members. TCF also has a dedicated Teacher Training Center in Karachi for the training of its faculty and provides logistical support to all its teachers.
Huma and Aamir Latif had arranged a picnic last month under the aegis of TCF. It proved to be an excellent idea to bring the community together. The turnout was large and everyone appeared visibly keen to help the Pakistani students. The picnic marked a fine initiative on the part of Huma Aamir and Aamir Latif.
