The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has helped small-scale private schools through its useful interventions to improve their academic standards and provide free quality education to the students.
Chairman Punjab Education Foundation Raja Anwar said this while addressing a ceremony held in connection with the commencement of construction-work of Khawaja Fareed English Model School, partnering with PEF under its education voucher scheme in Basti Mastaan Shah, Rahim Yar Khan District on Sunday.
Local MNA Mian Imtiaz, MD-PEF Dr Aneela Salman, Director (EVS) Maleeha Batool, Deputy Director Shafiq Ahmad, partner schools heads, teachers, students, educationists and social workers attended the ceremony in a larger number.
Raja Anwar said that PEF model of free education is by far the most economical, transparent and result-oriented. It's designed according to local needs and requirements. He said that the PEF has taken many proactive steps to improve the quality of education of small-scale schools. It also has promoted school education in southern Punjab's underprivileged localities where children were unable to go to schools due to poverty or lack of resources.
"We also have launched a comprehensive mechanism of teachers trainings of partners and these trainings continue throughout the year". PEF arranges 11 hundred different types of trainings for teachers, vice principals and principals in a year, he added. This has greatly helped the school education sector to improve its academics.
He observed that quality education is indispensable in creating a bright future for individuals and nations alike. School education is a gateway to opportunities of economic and social development. Further, globalisation and the increasing demand for a more sophisticated labour force, combined with the growth of knowledge-based economies, gives a sense of urgency to the heightened demand for quality education, he added.
