Noorani Amjad retired in 1999 from a physical therapy clinical and consulting practice in California―and enthusiastically plunged right into activism for education reform in Pakistan. The intensity of his efforts has incrementally picked up in recent years, resulting in thoughtful development of a series of detailed reform proposals in this book―and the ‘Call to Action’.
