Tablet-in-a-School programme to be launched by KP Gov

The provincial government is starting the Tablet-in-a-School Program to monitor schools in the province as part of its education reforms. A senior official from the Elementary and Secondary Education Department (E&SED) told that the government was putting an end to the practise of incorrect postings, and that now every teacher will have to teach on his or her actual post.

He stated that a double shift programme had been implemented to enrol out-of-school children.

3,000 children were enrolled in 120 schools in the first phase of the initiative, while over 400 more schools were chosen for the second phase, with the total number of such schools eventually reaching 1,000.

The current administration has also implemented the School Bags Act, which will relieve youngsters of the stress of carrying large bags. Students Facilitation Centres have also been established in all of the province's Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE), where students may get all of their needs met under one roof.

an e-transfer policy had been implemented to ensure merit and transparency in transfers and posts, and that all transfers and postings are now done online. The province government is also implementing a Smart Schools' Education Program in public schools, with Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) inked with Coded Minds and HOPE organisations for this purpose.

Over 0.1 million kids are enrolled in 3500 schools run by Females Community Schools, with 80 percent of students being girls and 99 percent of teachers being women.

For the purpose of ensuring quality education in schools, 3000 school leaders will be hired, with 2500 in BPS-16 and 190 in BPS-17.
