EVS expansion phase-13 launched

The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has launched expansion phase 13 of its Education Voucher Scheme (EVS) in the districts of Bahawalpur, Khanewal, Mianwali, Pakpattan, Sargodha and Sheikhupura. For this purpose, applications have been sought from the private schools, NGOs, profit-earning or non-profit earning bodies to apply for partnership under this scheme.
It is expected that this expansion will enable more deserving students to get free school education through EVS partners in these districts. It may be added here that Education Voucher Scheme was launched in 2006 with the objective to benefit children belonging to less-affluent and underprivileged areas, who otherwise, cannot get education due to financial and social constraints.-PR
