Education is the foundation of better economic growth and poverty reduction, and
it is impossible for any nation to progress socially, politically, economically and
technologically without education. Indeed, any effort targeting reduction in
poverty cannot be successful without a solid education base. Punjab undertook a
number of initiatives during 1999-2008 to improve the socioeconomic indicators
including education indicators. However, resource constrained economy of the
province was unable to match the ever-rising needs of the education sector. To
make for the resource deficiency, the Punjab Government launched some
initiatives with the help of international development partners. The assistance
came both in terms of financial as well as technical support. Major reform
initiatives in education sectors mainly include Punjab Education Sector Reforms
Programme (PESRP), and Punjab Devolved Social Services Programme
(PDSSP). These interventions were major stride towards addressing the
challenges facing our social sectors especially education sector. This article more
specifically throws light on the status of education and its related indicators in the
province of Punjab. It explores various interventions that have been implemented
in the education sector in the province with the financial and technical assistance
of the donor agencies. A brief impact analysis of these reforms programmes is also
discussed.
