The Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) has initiated a new scheme of Rural-Based Community Supported Schools (RBCS). This programme is aimed at increasing access to quality educational facilities in the far-flung areas of the province for disadvantaged groups of the society.
The interventions have been designed in the light of the federal government's Education sector Reform (2001-11) which recognises the role of the public private partnership for increased access, enhanced equity and improved quality at all levels of education.
The programme will cater to a minimum of 15,000 direct beneficiaries comprising students, teachers, parents and the NGO staff through 250 rural based community supported schools. These schools will be established in partnership with grassroots level NGOs across 10 districts of Sindh province.
The institutional strengthening interventions will focus on systematic development programmes for educators and administrators, increase in professional development opportunities and incentives, clearly defined roles and responsibilities and establishment of strong performance assessment systems.
Moreover, the curriculum will be enriched for providing children and youth with educational facilities and exposure not merely to impact literacy skills but also to enhance their knowledge regarding varied development issues including health, road and life skills.
