Description
Muhammad Ateeb and five co-authors report a 2026 qualitative study on adolescent young carers in Pakistan, seen through the eyes of school educators. Young carers are teens who look after a sick or disabled family member, and school staff are well placed to spot and help them, yet that role is little studied in Pakistan.
The team held in-depth interviews with staff at public higher secondary schools in the Haripur district. Talks ran for months in 2025 and were read for shared themes. The paper maps how much staff know, how they view these students, and what support they try to give.
