Using the concept of ‘misremembrance’, it argues that the Pakistani state selectively forgets its obligations in conflict-affected zones, undermining long-term recovery. Through recent examples of school bombings, ideological coercion, and grassroots organizing, the piece situates education within the broader humanitarian challenges of displacement, protection, and institutional neglect. It highlights how civil society, often without meaningful state support, has taken the lead in rebuilding education systems, and calls for sustained collaboration between local actors and institutions.   Find the article here.
