The USAID is contributing $155 million to the program while Government of Sindh (GoS), Education and Literacy Department (E&LD), is adding $10 million contribution to the implementation unit of the program. The implementation period is 2012 – 2016 with an extension of two years till 2018. In order to ensure transparent and efficient management of SBEP, the Program Management and Implementation Unit (PMIU) has been established by E&LD.

Section-04: Success StoriesEducation Management Organizations:

A way forward for sustainable Public Private Partnership

It is widely acknowledged that the magnitude of issues in education sector can only be resolved through mutual collaboration and long-term public private partnership, where all the stakeholders have to play their part. A very good example of this is the recent partnership of Education and Literacy Department (E&LD), Government of Sindh with two credible private sector organizations, namely IBA Sukkur and Charter for Compassion (CFC) Pakistan.

E&LD kicked-off implementation of the EMOs initiative by signing four concession agreements with two EMOs to contract out management of first four state-of-the-art schools newly constructed under the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP).

This step is unique and important in many ways. Hosting the concession agreement signing at Chief Minister House and the presence of key stakeholders demonstrate their commitment for improvement of education in the province while the partnership of government with the private sector endorses the role of latter as equally important stakeholder in this cause.

At this event, Chief Minister of Sindh and Minister of Education expressed their gratitude to USAID for this gesture of generous contribution and also for introducing the concept of EMOs, which will most likely be replicated beyond the SBEP targeted schools. This is a success in itself. The U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Mr. David M. Hale congratulated GoS on the EMOs policy implementation and hailed this partnership as a great milestone. He further added that “Our hope is that by engaging teachers, students and communities, these partnerships will bring innovations to help modernize the education system and support for education is one of America’s top priorities in Pakistan.”

Mr. Fazlullah Pechuho, Secretary Education and Literacy, Government of Sindh expressed that “Building schools are relatively easier than effectively managing these schools. We are grateful to USAID, who introduced the concept of EMOs. We are now confident that this public private partnership will ensure the effective governance and bring quality results.”

An Active Senior Official Completes a Winning Training Program at Harvard Kennedy School - USAID- Sindh Capacity Building Project

(SCDP) “ Global Change Agents -Leading with Commitment Creativity & Courage May 15-20, 2016”

Dr. Fouzia Khan, Head of Curriculum Wing, E&LD successfully completed a week long course ‘Global Change Agents’ at the Harvard Kennedy School, USA. According to her the “ course was professionally designed and executed, giving practical insights on evaluating, analyzing, and comprehensively developing strategies encompassing global trends tailored to local contexts and sensitive to cultural, social and religious values’.

Dr. Fouzia Khan, who is also a former Dean and a Professor at the Sindh Madressa Tul Islam (SMI) University in Karachi said, “ Having served in a University and engaged in higher education myself, I felt that the faculty was top notch and couldn’t have been any better. All the teachers were fully involved and gave their 100% tireless efforts in helping us through the tough course. Ex-President of Ecuador brought tears to the eyes of participants while sharing his real life case study. There is not enough appreciation that can be bestowed upon Dean Williams, whose command over the level of guidance he extended lead in a very efficacious culmination of course”

What better testimonial can one have on, the selection of the course and its completion, than that given by the first senior official of the first tier as planned under SCDP to assist and strengthen the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP) executed by a diligent team at Deloitte.

Reading Camps in Selected Reading Spaces

On June 01, 2016, Mr. Ramzan Baloch (author of Lyari Ki Adhuri Kahani) conducted a reading circle on his book with the youth of Lyari. He was accompanied by columnist of the daily Express News, Mr Shabbir Ahmed Arman, and Assistant Professor of Sociology at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Dr. Nida Kirmani.

At the celebration of Kids Day on June 15, 2016, books provided by SRP were displayed in Lyari Text Book Library for the children to foster their interest in

reading.

As a result of this event, it was observed that in the month of June Readers of Lyari Text Book Library arranged weekly reading circle by their own at the library and children from the neighbourhood visited library on a daily basis accompanying their parents and spent more than one hour to develop and enhance their reading skills.
