The basic education program is being developed to support the Government of Pakistan's (GOP) efforts to improve the ability of public schools to attract and provide quality education to boys and girls. In December 2000, the GOP launched an ambitious Education Sector Reform Strategy that seeks to promote quality education for all. Its key elements include reforming educational planning and resource use, reducing the education gender gap, education for all, improving teacher accountability and training, and curriculum reform. As part of its "education for all" strategy, the GOP has proposed a special initiative in early primary education. The Pakistan Basic Education Program will provide assistance to the GOP to test and implement innovative early primary education methods in clusters of public schools in targeted areas. The program will identify and address early primary education issues with the GOP aimed at: 1) strengthening education administration; 2) enhancing the capabilities of teachers and improving the teaching-learning process; and 3) promoting community involvement and innovative local initiatives through public private partnerships. Key Results: Expected results have not yet been developed. Performance and Prospects: The program is under development. Possible Adjustments to Plans: None. Other Donor Programs: The basic education program is being coordinated with other major donor education programs in Pakistan, such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Union, Norway, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations Children's Fund. Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: To be determined. Selected Performance Measures: To be developed under the new planning framework. * In FY 2001, $2,500,000 ESF will be allocated from the Improve South Asia Regional Stability activity (498-037) to fund the Pakistan Basic Education Program.
