Strategic Objectives

Quality1. Standards for all education inputs, process, outputs2. Capacity development for Curriculum Implementation

Framework3. Aligning Pre-service and In-service Teacher Education

based on the Punjab Teacher Education Strategy 4. Capacity development to prepare and disseminate high

quality textbooks 5. Enhance expertise in assessment and evaluation6. Development of physical and social environment in

Governance & Management of Public Education Sector

1. Merit based HRM-Recruitment, Performance Appraisal and Promotions, Retention of Quality Managers

2. Development of capacity to improve managerial efficiency at the provincial and district level

3. Data-based decision-making and increasing scope of EMIS4. Developing oversight mechanism for sector plan implementation and

improve monitoring and evaluation processes5. Gender-sensitized management6. Utilize PEF’s capacity to achieve targets of Article 25-A7. School-based budgeting 8. Integrate private sector into government’s policy framework9. Effective community involvement

Implementation Strategies

Implementation Framework

• Oversight Mechanism

• Decentralisation• Dissemination • PMIU as

Secretariat

Monitoring

• Performance Assessment Framework

• Implementation level indicators

Stakeholders Involvement

Way Forward

• PSESP Dissemination (district level)• Steering Structure (committee) for effective

implementation PSESP (SED Level) – to be notified

• Notification of Thematic Working Groups (Quality, Access & Governance)

• Development and Alignment of Annual Development Plans of attached departments with PSESP

• Capacity Development Strategy• Resource Mobilization Plan & Donors/Partners

Coordination• Performance Assessment Framework (mechanism)

Costing

Costing• Estimates of Out of School population based on:

– Population Projections of National Institute of Population Studies (NIPS)

– NER trend from PSLMs• Ratios: Classroom 1:50; Teachers 1:50, 3:50 and 4:50 for primary, middle

and secondary• Use of official Unit costs• Estimates for public sector and PPP approach• Costing of the 5 year plan is an estimate• Financing component will be reviewed on an ongoing basis• It is a cyclical process- a few additional costs will emerge from

implementation itself

Costing Strategies

Utilise excess capacity available

in public sector

Balanced division between PPP and

Public sector

Separate approach for costing of quality and governance strategies

Infrastructure expansion only for quality related issues:• Increase number of 5

room primary schools• Introduction and

expansion of pre-primary ECE

Non Scale Costs

• Quality • Relevance• Access• Governance• Improved Managerial Efficiency• Monitoring and Evaluation
