This paper provides a thorough review of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dedicated to enhancing education in Pakistan, exploring the current educational landscape in the country. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the findings highlight that the educational conditions for the less privileged have not seen substantial improvements nationwide, with a specific emphasis on Pakistan. This study holds significance given the ongoing debates among various stakeholders, including the government, regarding the efficacy of NGOs in the education sector. Despite NGOs proclaiming success, particularly in Pakistan, this research prompts further inquiry to scrutinize and substantiate the assertions made by these organizations, suggesting a need for additional research to assess the actual impact of NGO efforts in the realm of education within the country.
