A comprehensive analysis of the impact of reforms under the 2014-2018 Sindh Education Sector Plan has been launched by researchers at Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development (IED).
The 2014-2018 Sindh Education Sector Plan (SESP), which was published in June 2014, was the first multi-year plan prepared by the Sindh Education and Literacy Department following the devolution of the education sector through the 18th amendment to the Constitution.
The study is assessing the current status of the province’s education system and analysing its performance in light of targets set in the SESP in four areas: ensuring equity and access to education, improving quality and learning outcomes, enhancing system governance and accountability.
Public, private and non-formal education institutions in the province are covered in the study with researchers assessing key metrics such as gross and net enrollment, literacy levels, and teaching quality. Systemic factors that affect the effectiveness of provincial, regional, district as well as school governance and management structures are also being analysed.
“Our goal is to give policymakers the evidence they need to raise the prospects for our next generation,” said IED Interim Director Dr Sajid Ali. “Every child deserves a good education and our findings will help inform efforts to achieve Sindh’s policy priorities as well as targets under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.”
Findings from the study are expected in September 2018 and will be shared with all stakeholders as the Sindh government prepares its 2019-2023 sector plan.
The study has been funded by UNESCO and is being conducted in coordination with experts at the
International Institute for Educational Planning.
