The '''Agahi Community Schools''' are a series of schools established by the Agahi group. Since 1997 Agahi has established seven community schools in villages in [[Mansehra District]] of the [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa]] province of [[Pakistan]]. In each village, a [[Community organization|Community Based Organization]] (CBO) known locally as a Tanzeem, made up of parents, is responsible for the management of the school. A sub-committee of Tanzeem members, handles operational issues, motivates parents to enrol their children in the school and helps identify village-based teachers.

Agahi has introduced activity-based education and a modern curriculum in the schools. The Agahi Teacher Training Centre in [[Mansehra]] town trains teachers during holidays and provides back-up ‘mentoring’ in the classrooms by sending mentors to the schools to provide support and oversight. All teachers are local women and classes are normally around 50% girls.
