Professional Management

TCF is professionally managed by a team of highly skilled managers and staff employed on a full-time basis. Currently, there are 8,000+ employees, including 5,400 teachers in an all-women faculty.

Financial Assistance

Financial aid up to 95 percent of the tuition and fees is provided to needy students.  Many students pay as little as Rs. 10 (about 12 cents) per month. Books and uniforms are provided at easy installments, or distributed free to those who cannot afford them.

Co-education System

TCF schools are often unique in offering a co-education schooling environment. Female enrollment in TCF schools is close to 50 percent, a remarkable achievement when compared to the national literacy averages amongst women in Pakistan. Many of the female graduates from TCF schools are the first young women to be educated in their families.

Comprehensive & Dynamic Curriculum

To maintain national accreditation, TCF schools follow a curriculum in line with the prescribed syllabus. However, the curriculum is enhanced, reviewed and regularly updated to be at par with modern-day education. Effectiveness of teaching methods is also evaluated through regular school visits, inspections and assessments to ensure delivery of high quality of education at TCF schools.
