LAHORE, March 01:
As a result of continued annual expansions in the free educational initiatives of the Punjab Education Foundation (PEF), the total number of beneficiary students would rise to as much as 2.3 million by the end of this year.
          MD PEF Tariq Mahmood said this while briefing the program committee members about expansion plans in partnership with the private school partners at his office on Tuesday. The meeting which held with convener Dr. Amjad Saqib in the chair, reviewed different agenda-items including programs’ expansion & their budget estimations for the next financial year and effective exploitation of public private partnership based initiatives.
MD PEF gave a detailed presentation about foundation’s role and its contribution in providing free schooling facility to the deserving children at their doorsteps. He said that PEF is working hard to achieve different educational targets, adding that more than hundred monitoring and evaluation assistants have been hired to maintain effective monitoring mechanism of partner schools in districts. He told that inclusive education has been introduced for the needy differently-abled children in seven selected districts including Lahore. These students are studying side by side of the able students. The meeting was informed that capacity building of six thousand teachers has been planned through directorate of staff development. For this purpose, 145 trainings would be held in six different districts. The meeting observed that the process of teachers’ certification would help to improve the overall quality of education by introducing them new concepts in their subjects. It also noted with satisfaction the 45 percent ratio of girls in PEF sponsored schools and observed that this proportion may be further increased to 50 percent so that gender- equality could be fully maintained. Program directors briefed the meeting about their respective program’s performance.
          Dr. Amjad Saqib asked the program heads to work proactively and ensure that their school partners’ grievances are well taken care of so that the agenda of education-promotion could be achieved.

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.
