25.2M children are out of school today.

Roll Call helps parents, teachers, and community workers see the real numbers for their district and find a nearby school to enroll a child, backed by UNICEF and PBS data.

Why this matters

In parts of rural Balochistan, more than two out of three school-age children have never sat in a classroom. Not because their parents don't care — but because no one nearby could tell them how bad it really is, or where the closest school even is. Roll Call turns scattered national statistics into a number a parent, a teacher, or a community worker can actually act on for their own district.

How Roll Call helps

1
Children in a rural Pakistani community

Find your district

Pick a province and district to see the real, sourced out-of-school rate for that area — not a national average that hides local reality.

2
Students in a Pakistani classroom

See verified numbers

Every figure is backed by UNICEF Pakistan and the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics — no guesswork, no inflated claims.

3
