In this story of DW's World In Progress, I report on a program developed by the NGO Plan International which offers those who dropped out of school a second chance. In just two years, students who dropped out of primary or middle school are brought up to speed and readied to take the all-important tenth grade matriculation exam. While the program has been largely successful in the low-income Islamabad neighborhoods where it was piloted, some students succumbed to the same pressures that forced them to give up their studies in the first place.
