Results on the Ground A World Bank funded project in Pakistan’s Punjab Province has continued its support of the country’s education sector and recently approved the second phase of the project. It will support the Province’s medium-term reform program to improve performance and quality of school education; improve school participation and retention rates; and reduce gender and regional disparities.

The project had already contributed towards improvements in education with public school enrollments increasing by over 2.4 million over the past three years. However, about 40% of Punjab’s primary school-aged children are still out of school. Read More.
