APP

Peshawar: With the technical and financial support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Elementary and Secondary Education Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Directorate is going to establish early childhood education (ECE) classrooms in the selected government primary schools of all the districts.

One ECE room will be established in the existing available classrooms in the selected government primary schools. It is decided that no separate classrooms will be constructed for ECE classrooms.

In this connection, District Education Officers (DEO) of both male and female districts, including Bannu, Battagram, Bajaur, Dera Ismail Khan, Dir Upper, Hangu, Kohat, Kohistan Lower, Khyber, Kurram, Tank, Lakki Marwat, Mansehra, Mohmand, North Waziristan, Orakzai, Peshawar, Shangla, Swabi, Swat, South Waziristan, and Torghar, have been directed to establish ECE classrooms in the selected schools.

In a letter issued by the Planning and Development Department KP, the list of the selected schools has already been finalised and shared with the DEO.

The establishment of ECE Rooms has been assigned to the Hashoo Foundation. Before starting the work, the representatives of the Hashoo Foundation will hold a meeting with the same schools that have already been selected.

In this regard, a written request has been sent to inform the head teachers of the concerned schools to extend their full cooperation with the staff of the Hashoo Foundation.

After the completion of work in listing the ECE rooms as per directives, they should be registered in the stock register of the school and a completion certificate given to the concerned personnel.

The decision is taken to extend the early childhood classroom project to every primary school in other districts.
