Aziz Rakla is a visionary who
wishes to remove barriers of class and privilege and make the citizens of
Pakistan agents of positive change. He believes that access to basic education
is the right of each individual and not a privilege. The TCF schools focus on
the character building of students to equip them with high moral values and
confidence. To achieve these goals, TCF is constantly surveying education-deprived
communities in Pakistan to extend its network. Encouraging female enrolment and
female faculty is one of the primary aims at TCF schools. Quality education,
enabling moral, spiritual, and intellectual enlightenment, for a better future
is the mission at TCF.
Aziz Rakla has dedicated his life
to the betterment of Pakistan’s future – its children, through one of the best
tools – education. He joined the TCF family because of his love for Pakistan
and his desire to give back to the country that has given him his education and
success. He feels that this is the time to contribute to society and he wants
to see an educated, modern Pakistan. Aziz also dreams of TCF expanding and
taking the front seat in setting the education budget and education policies of
the country.
