Syeda Shumiam Zehra

From Pakistan

Syeda Shumiam Zehra carried out a Bachelor in Economics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. During her studies, she developed a strong foundation in quantitative analysis. From early on, she knew she wanted to apply these skills in the development sector. Growing up in Pakistan, she was deeply affected by the high levels of child labour and the large number of children out of school. These experiences shaped her interest in education as a tool to challenge and reduce social and economic inequalities, especially for children living in poverty. Currently, she is pursuing an internship at the IIPE UNESCO- working on a project for development of a leadership academy in Guyana.
