2025 GSPP Conference Opening Reception & Keynote: Khadija Shahper Bakhtiar

Join us for the conference opening reception, followed by our opening keynote with GSPP alum (MPP '10) Khadija Shahper Bakhtiar. Khadjia Shahper Bakhtiar is the founder of Teach For Pakistan, a nonprofit organization working to end educational inequity in Pakistan. The idea to launch Teach For Pakistan was born when Khadija was a graduate student at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. After meeting alumni from Teach For America, Khadija dreamt of launching a similar model that could channel the energy of Pakistan’s most talented young people towards solving the problem of education. The GSPP community provided the financial, intellectual and moral support to convert the dream into a concrete blueprint for how the program would run. Today, Teach For Pakistan has 183 Alumni rewriting curricula, shaping policy, building better schools and innovating through ed-tech. The organization’s 155 Fellows are teaching and learning from 10,000+ students across 60 Islamabad public schools. Join us for the conference opening reception, followed by a conversation between Khadija Bakhtiar and GSPP Dean David Wilson about Khadija’s time at the Goldman School, her journey to take Teach For Pakistan from dream to reality, and how she’s catalyzed a movement to eliminate educational inequity in Pakistan. Khadija Bakhtiar is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Teach For Pakistan, which recruits Pakistan’s most talented graduates to teach in underserved communities and lead long-term change in the country’s education system. Teach For Pakistan has deployed 600 leaders who have taught more than 30,000 students in high-need public schools and impacted the entire educational spectrum through its Alumni movement. Khadija has catalyzed a shift in the national conversation around education, influencing policy changes at both federal and provincial levels.
