She has led high-impact initiatives to modernize school infrastructure, tackle chronic teacher absenteeism, and broaden access to quality education in Sindh’s most underserved regions.

Ms. Zaman has closely collaborated with international partners including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and USAID to implement education-driven programs that have delivered measurable impact at the grassroots level.
