ISLAMABAD: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded scholarships to 100 talented students enrolled in the two-year Associate Degree in Education (ADE) and four-year Bachelor’s Degree in Education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA.
“We are delighted to see such bright students from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA who have dedicated themselves to a life of learning, scholarship, and service,” Muhammad Tariq Khan, Senior Education Advisor for USAID said while speaking on behalf of USAID Mission Director, Gregory Gottlieb.
He added that they are confident that the seeds that are being planted today through these USAID scholarships will bear multiple fruits for the benefit of the region and the country, said a news release issued here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, Muhammad Atif, Minister of Elementary and Secondary Education, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa thanked the United States government for providing scholarships to deserving students who will play a vital role to improve the quality of education for thousands of Pakistanis.
This scholarship program is part of a larger $ 165 million USAID funded Pakistan Reading Project, which works closely with 28 Pakistani universities and 116 elementary teachers colleges throughout Pakistan.
Assistance is customized based on the priorities and plans as determined by each province and region and includes systems strengthening, policy reforms, and training for better management of teacher education programs.
The project also works closely with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, provincial and regional Departments of Education and teacher training institutions across the country to achieve these goals.
In order to attract qualified and talented students into the HEC-approved degree programs, the Pakistan Reading Project will grant 6,454 full-tuition USAID merit scholarships.
These scholarships are a part of the comprehensive education program that the United States implements in Pakistan in partnership with the government of Pakistan.
This program includes building or rehabilitating more than 850 schools; establishing centers for advanced education studies at four Pakistani universities; expanding English skills for more than 5,000 low-income students; and awarding more than 4,800 scholarships for university students to pursue education through the Pakistan-USAID Merit and Needs Based scholarship Program.
