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.
