SPADO has worked as implementing Partner of UNICEF in education in earthquake affected areas of Pakistan.
Main objectives:
- In the targeted 61 government schools 80% of children who were in school before the earth quake return to school.
- At least 30% of school aged children with special focus on girls who were not enrolled before the earthquake are attending school regularly in the targeted schools.
- Education facilities in the earthquake affected areas are functional: there is a physical infrastructure, supplies and personnel available, and the staff has appropriate knowledge, skills, attitude and behaviors necessary to provide quality education.
- The quality of teaching is enhanced beyond pre-earthquake levels as reflected in the use of effective learner – centered inclusive teaching strategies through teacher training, the provision of learning materials to all students and the use of relevant teaching and learning activities.
