Dubai Cares announced here Tuesday a learning programme worth about $4.6 million for Pakistani school children.

The three-year programme, which aligns with and supports the UN secretary general's five-year global education initiative, will promote education transitions from pre-primary to primary school for children, especially girls and vulnerable groups, Xinhua reported.

The programme will benefit 385,800 school children in Pakistan's Sindh and Punjab regions as well as two regions in Baluchistan province.

Dubai Cares is a philanthropic organisation working to provide children in developing countries with access to quality primary education.
