The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has forever defeated the menace of ignorance and illiteracy

The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has forever defeated the menace of ignorance and illiteracy by helping lakhs of deserving male and female students to continue their studies in partnering schools without being burdened. The educational policies of this foundation have been helpful to provide educated youth to the country. This is no small feat as the disfranchised communities have reposed their trust and confidence over us by sending their children, especially the girls, to the PEF sponsored schools.

Chairman PEF Engr. Qamar ul Islam Raja said this while addressing the district coordination meeting of school partners from Bahawalnagar district at district council hall, today.

While giving a detail of different PEF sponsored reforms in the school education sector, he said that organized teachers and head teachers’ capacity building program will help to improve the academic standards of the partnering schools. Partner schools are also directed to ensure that governmental instructions with regard to schools’ security and eradication of dengue are fully implemented to provide secure and clean atmosphere to the students. He said that different IT based reforms are regularly made to ensure that PEF system serves in a transparent and efficient way. Our student information system is state-of-the-art program to store more than two million students’ data efficiently, he added. School partners should ensure that their record is entered completely and error-free. Similarly, schools should also resolve their all registration related matters well in time.

MD PEF Tariq Mahmood said that extraordinary efforts are made to promote education in the remote and far flung areas of the southern districts. Our cholistan schooling project has helped to spread education in nook and corner of the vast desert spreading over three districts. 67 percent of PEF partner schools and 69 percent of total students belong to southern districts of the province. He further told that planning to provide free textbooks for the academic year 2017-18 has started already. Education is the basis of national development and our students will prove themselves as youth role models to proactively serve in the national mainstream, he concluded.

The meeting was also addressed by the program directors.

Ambassador of United Kingdom to Egypt Mr. John Casson visited the head office of Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) on Thursday

Ambassador of United Kingdom to Egypt Mr. John Casson visited the head office of Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) on Thursday to study its free education programs for the low income families in the Punjab.

On the occasion, Chairman PEF Qamar ul Islam Raja and Managing Director Tariq Mahmood briefed the UK envoy about important role being played by Punjab Education Foundation in the field of school education to help open the doors of educational institutions on children of low income families who cannot afford such schooling on their own due to lack of resources.

Chairman PEF Mr. Raja said that more than two million most deserving male and female students are getting free quality education through the network of more than six thousand partner schools situated in all the 36 districts of the province. This has opened new avenues for hapless communities to step forward through the education of their children.

PEF provides monthly fee ranging from Rs. 550 to Rs. 1100 per student to school partners according to school category, besides providing textbooks free of cost. It is sanguine to note that 45 percent of the beneficiaries are girls while non-muslim Pakistani communities are equally benefitting from the foundation’s programs. PEF has also initiated inclusive education project in the districts of Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi and Vehari by involving its partner schools. The purpose is to rehabilitate and strengthen the differently abled students through education. Other developing countries can also improve access to education by introducing PEF type model and helping the indigent strata to send their kids to schools offering free education.

The UK ambassador was also apprised about IT based interventions and teachers training system so that partner school teachers could work and deliver better. In order to ensure smooth working of partner schools and to arrange better monitoring, district level monitoring mechanism has also been established. UK envoy John Casson put up different questions to fully understand PEF's role and working strategy. He commended the good work of foundation and observed that PEF brand is very strong.

Different program directors also briefed the meeting about their role in promotion of education at the grassroots.

Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) is the largest public-sector program of providing free schooling facilities to as much as 1.9 million most-needy students in the province.

Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) is the largest public-sector program of providing free schooling facilities to as much as 1.9 million most-needy students in the province. It is sanguine to note that 45 percent of them are girls. This foundation has also strengthened the low-cost private schools through its public private partnership based programs. It has been observed that PEF sponsored free schooling facilities are a great boon for the low-income families as they cannot afford schooling expenses of their children.

MD PEF Tariq Mahmood said this while presiding over weekly coordination meeting at his office on Wednesday. PEF program directors and other officers attended the meeting. The meeting reviewed pace of expansion of public private partnership based initiatives for the disfranchised communities.

MD PEF observed that transparency and merit-based policies are two conspicuous features of the foundation. While discussing programs’ ongoing expansions, he made it clear that any attempt for partnership through fake school registration certificates will not be tolerated.

While PEF is working hard to timely pay monthly dues to the school partners, school heads should ensure that their students’ record in the PEF server remains most updated. They should also maintain an updated record of teachers in addition to keeping parents’ updated details, he said.

The meeting maintained that provision of suitable salary to school-teachers is encouraged and proposed that teachers’ pay should also be mentioned in partnership agreements in future. The meeting noted that only those partner school teachers should be offered free capacity building trainings whose data is maintained in Teachers Information System (TIS) of the foundation.

The meeting was further told that government employees are ineligible for any partnership with the foundation and therefore, such partners are already offered to transfer school’s partnership to a non-governmental blood relative. The meeting proposed that nearby private schools should be offered partnership to help the students to continue their free education if any such person fails to benefit from this facility.

The meeting expressed the satisfaction over timely distribution of 7.1 million textbooks in partner schools across the province.

PEF has introduced inclusive education for the needy-Tariq Mahmood  

LAHORE, Feb. 25:

The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has ensured that its school partners should arrange conducive atmosphere for the overall grooming of the students. For this purpose, special attention is paid to the provision of tidy atmosphere & facilities like necessary furniture etc. Similarly, schools should have airy classrooms besides availability of clean drinking water and hygiene toilets.

          This was stated by MD PEF Tariq Mahmood while meeting with a seven-member delegation of school partners from Lahore at his office on Thursday. PEF’s DMD (Ops.) Tariq Rafiq and program directors were also present.

Tariq Mahmood said that school partners should work hard to supplement the efforts of the foundation and also motivate their students to actively take part in different co curricular activities for their personality-grooming. In the light of the Punjab Government’s directions, we have strictly banned corporal punishment in our partner schools so that our students could study in an affable atmosphere, he added. It is satisfying that public private partnership based educational projects have helped to facilitate the poorest of the poor families in the education of their children. He said that the foundation has set up its network of partner schools in all the 36 districts. These schools are available to the students in their close proximity. The PEF is also credited of efficiently using the latest tools of information technology to get its system going in a smooth manner.  

          MD PEF told that Punjab Inclusive Education Project (PIEP) will help the differently abled students to grow through the schooling funded by the foundation. PEF has also shouldered different capacity building programs to improve skills of the partner schools’ teachers. It is expected that the employment of district monitoring staff will further strengthen the monitoring mechanism at the grassroots, concluded the MD.

On the occasion, school partners thanked the foundation for its support and technical assistance to the low cost schools.
