The Punjab payoff

[Edevelop]

At the end of 2010, Sir Michael Barber, our chief education advisor, travelled to Punjab, Pakistan as part of his work with DFID. His task – to review the state of education there – identified significant challenges: children not in school, and those in school not learning very much; teachers not turning up for work; politically appointed administrators; buildings without basic sanitation, let alone the right facilities to learn.

What came from that trip was the Punjab Education Reform Roadmap, a collaboration of government, teachers and administrators. The results so far have been impressive – 1.5 million more children now in school, 200,000 teachers trained, 92% of school buildings improved.

Yet, as Michael explains in this video, the process that has resulted in these measurable outcomes – a process that relies on data and targets, and a focus on teacher quality, to name just two elements – is no miracle, but something that can be easily replicated anywhere in the world.

very interesting....only good target achieved by Punjab Govt....must heavily congratulate the govt and administrators for that...educating everyone is the key to success.

Good documentary, We need such visits in all parts of Pakistan.

I like the Punjab Education Reform Roadmap, through measurable outcomes.

I will congratulate Punjab Government only when *all* children are in schools.

Apparently Punjab govt is cheering for something that is not rocket science and easy....wonder why it took 7 years plus to realize this:

children not in school, and those in school not learning very much; teachers not turning up for work; politically appointed administrators; buildings without basic sanitation, let alone the right facilities to learn.

Congrats to the govt of Punjab for growing finally outsourcing and admitting their incapability in the education sector

Wonder how many other sectors need to be outsourced and what is the value of the ALL those ministers who are eating tax money?

When in the end the subject is eventually outsourced!
