Basic Education in Pakistan

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) works with the Government of Pakistan and development partners to increase access to and improve the quality of basic and higher education.

USAID and the Government of Pakistan partner to provide quality basic education and higher education to Pakistani students. This partnership includes training teachers and school administrators, developing educational policies responsive to local needs, and increasing community involvement in schools by actively involving families and the private sector. Additionally, USAID supports market-based workforce development training, and research geared toward meeting the workforce needs of the 21st century.

  • Trained more than 46,000 teachers and school administrators since 2013. 
  • Provided approximately 19,000 scholarships for talented students to attend tertiary education in Pakistan over the past nine years.
  • Reached more than two million primary-level learners throughout the country, and improved oral reading fluency for 26 percent of grade-two graduate students in early grade reading supported classrooms.
  • Built 17 faculties of education to ensure training of future teachers.
  • Built or repaired more than 1,600 schools in Pakistan, including 946 in the Newly Merged Districts of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province.

ACCESS TO BASIC EDUCATION

In Pakistan, where nearly 22.5 million children are out of school, increasing access to education opportunities for out-of-school children is a priority. USAID’s education programs have provided emergency education to children displaced by military conflict and enrolled new students in schools and non-formal education programs. USAID also works with the Government of Pakistan, private sector and community representatives to address barriers that keep students from enrolling and staying in school. During the COVID-19 outbreak, USAID reached over 5.9 million people through various technologies to share resources, boost literacy across radio networks, and disseminate health and instructional materials.

IMPROVED BASIC EDUCATION QUALITY

Teachers make the biggest impact on what students learn. USAID partnered with Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission to develop two professional teaching degree programs. As a result, Associate's and Bachelor’s degrees in Education are now offered in 110 universities and teacher training colleges across the country. Reading is the foundation of learning, earning, and critical thinking. By building a child’s reading skills at an early age, that child is much more likely to succeed and ultimately stay in school. USAID invested in training thousands of teachers on how to teach reading, which includes attractive, ageand grade-appropriate, and instructionally sound teaching and learning materials in Urdu, Sindhi, Balochi, Brahui, and Pashto. We have also established classroom libraries in thousands of schools, and encouraged schools to dedicate more classroom time for reading. Furthermore, USAID helped pioneer a public-private partnership program where Education Management Organizations (EMOs) work with reputable private sector organizations to improve the operations of public schools and enhance students’ learning achievements. To date, the government has handed over 139 schools with 64,000 students to seven EMOs in Sindh.

IMPROVED ACCESS TO & QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

USAID programs help Pakistani universities increase access to and improve the quality of their degree programs. USAID has provided scholarships to talented low-income and marginalized students and helped Pakistani universities improve their ability to manage financial aid programs. To enhance the quality of higher education programs and research, USAID has connected experts in energy and water at U.S. universities with Pakistani universities USAID also supported the establishment of advanced research centers and laboratories where Pakistani universities partner with U.S. universities to conduct joint research for practical and policy solutions to energy and water problems in Pakistan.

USAID to launch $20m education project

Mission Director Kate Somvongsiri prioritises health sector in K-P

kate somvongsiri photo express

Kate Somvongsiri, the USAID Mission Director for Pakistan, has announced the forthcoming launch of the $20 million Education Resilience Activity (ERA) project in Pakistan. This initiative aims to bolster development in education, health, and various other key sectors within the province.

Speaking to The Express Tribune, Somvongsiri highlighted USAID’s longstanding commitment to the country since 2009, during which it has provided over $1 billion in assistance across diverse sectors.

She emphasized USAID’s collaborative efforts with the K-P government, including the merged districts, spanning 26 projects covering academic and women’s development, education, climate change, energy, and infrastructure.

Notably, USAID’s contributions to road infrastructure have resulted in the construction of over 1,300 kilometers of roads, bridges, link roads, and tunnels, fostering livelihoods, connectivity, and economic potential.

In the energy sector, USAID has supported projects such as the Gomal Zam Dam, providing 253 megawatts of primarily hydroelectric, clean, and affordable energy to K-P.

At the national level, USAID’s interventions have added 4,000 megawatts of clean and affordable energy to the national grid.

Education and health remain paramount for USAID, with initiatives encompassing the construction of 29 new schools and the rehabilitation of over 1,000 others affected by conflict and natural disasters.

USAID is also collaborating with the government to introduce public-private partnerships for education improvement, focusing not only on infrastructure but also on ensuring quality education.

In higher education, USAID has aided eight universities, including the establishment of a state-of-the-art energy center at the University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar, and the construction of faculty of education buildings in four universities. Furthermore, USAID has provided over 1,000 merit and need-based scholarships to students across the province. In response to natural disasters, USAID allocated $200 million after the 2022 floods.

Health constitutes the largest portion of USAID’s program in Pakistan, with nearly 50% of the budget allocated to this sector. Initiatives focus on quality healthcare, maternal and child health, and water and sanitation, including the support for the digging of 180 drinking water wells and 120 kilometers of municipal drainage pipes.

Climate change is another focal point for USAID in K-P, with the US Pakistan Green Alliance concentrating on water, energy, and agriculture.

Somvongsiri reiterated USAID’s commitment to supporting the provincial government and merged districts, ensuring a sustainable future for the people of the province, and standing with Pakistanis during natural disasters.

She said that the agency has also built the faculty of education in four universities, namely Gomal University, University of Peshawar, Hazara University and University of Malakand.

The US Pakistan Green Alliance will focus on water, energy and agriculture. Besides, she said that the vision of the US government on climate change aligned with the Pakistani government.

Kate Somvongsiri stated that USAID is committed to aiding the provincial government and merged districts, ensuring a prosperous future for the province through sustainable development projects. She emphasized USAID’s enduring support for the Pakistani people in the face of natural disasters.

USAID's Pakistan Education Program Aligned With U.S. Strategy, But Insufficient Oversight Could Impede Accountability for Results

USAID/Pakistan implement a plan to ensure education project implementers report in their quarterly progress reports any implementation challenges, follow-up performed to resolve those challenges, and the current status of the challenges.

USAID/Pakistan implement a system that maintains a record of the Mission's portfolio reviews, including but not limited to, review of the critical assumptions, issues identified, and management's follow-up of the identified issues.

USAID/Pakistan implement a plan to identify the root causes associated with the lack of capacity of the Government of Sindh's Education Department and local contractors that created major challenges for the construction component of the Sindh Basic Education Program, and implement a plan to address these issues.

USAID/Pakistan implement cost-estimate guidelines and training to include detailed guidance on what steps should be followed when reviewing independent government cost estimates under Government-to-Government programs, including the requirement to document the review. Guidelines should ensure that steps are included for determining the allowability of cost items that the Mission should consider while reviewing the independent government cost estimates.

USAID/Pakistan review the independent cost estimates for the Sindh Basic Education Program's school-construction component specifically to identify items that are not permitted by the host-country agreement and other guidance, reiterate in writing that the unpermitted costs should not be included in cost estimates for future projects, and take appropriate action to recover any unpermitted amounts already paid.
