Mr. Faisal Khan Tarakai

Minister for Elementary & Secondary Education KP

Despite tremendous efforts by our government, we still have many areas where school facilities are not available, especially for females. Elementary and Secondary Education Foundation is a blessing for these marginalized communities as we can reach ‘Out of School’ kids through GCS, ESS of the Foundation. We are trying to make the process more transparent and hopefully, we will achieve our targets Inshallah.

Mr. Masood Ahmad

Secretary E&SE Department

ESEF is an autonomous body with the mandate of contributing in Non – Formal education. In spite of running some 35000 formal government schools in KP, we still have areas where there is no facility of government school in one Km radius which make it almost impossible, specially, for girls to reach any education facility. This is here that Elementary and secondary education Foundation plays its role and we hope that it will address such ‘critical area’ effectively to reduce ‘out of school children’.

Mr. Qaiser Alam

Managing Director, ESEF

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you here. The main objective of the website is to enhance service delivery and quick response to the public. It will help the public, partners, teachers, students, and other stakeholders in getting information at their doorsteps.

The program focuses on children in the areas where they do not have easy access to education facilities. The concept is cost-effective, compared to the existing per-student cost in the formal public education system. Moreover, under this scheme, schooling facilities can be provided in less time as compared to the time required for the establishment of a new formal school.
