It can also open up young minds to a world of creativity, imagination and understanding. “I remember fondly reading to my children some of the books available from Ladybird, so it is great news for both young people and their parents in Pakistan that some of the best children’s books from the UK are available here, “The UK Government is also investing heavily in the children of Pakistan and their education through the work of the British Council and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). More than six million primary school children have benefitted from the DFID’s support in Pakistan since 2011.
