The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has arranged child-friendly atmosphere in its partner schools so that the students could study in a congenial atmosphere and come out as confident leader of tomorrow. In this regard, various institutional reforms have been introduced including strictly banning corporal punishment in schools.
This was stated by Chairman Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) Raja Anwar while talking to a ten-member delegation of school teachers, principals and educationists at his residence today.
While briefing the delegation, Raja Anwar said that PEF has established school committees to check the menace of corporal punishment. The foundation has also provided quality library books to the partner schools to broaden the intellectual horizon of students, he added. He said that the public private partnership model of the foundation is a unique experience in the education sector which has given new confidence to the private sector schools and helped the poor and needy to send their children to school without being burdened. The foundation has also provided soft loans for the setting up of IT and science labs in the secondary level partner schools. He further said that promotion of education is a collective responsibility of the society and therefore the NGOs as well as the corporate sector should come forward for this noble cause.
