Mr. Arshad Ayub Khan

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. Muhammad Khalid

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. Qaisar Alam

Managing Director, ESEF
