Abstract

COVID-19-related restrictive measures and the re-opening of educational institutions have created challenges for teachers in areas of Pakistan that are ridden by tribal conflict. Drawing from 17 qualitative interviews with 17 male teachers from the conflict-affected Shikarpur district during the COVID-19-related school closures, this paper reports on challenges teachers faced in maintaining teaching and learning. The narratives reveal that tribal feuds had a more severe impact on children’s education than the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, or by the government’s preventive policies. These policies included school closures, which caused a year-long loss of learning. Most of the teachers and students were struggling to recoup their losses through supplementary instructional time, but in areas that suffered from tribal conflicts, generations of villagers had long been deprived of the right to education.
