About the projects
The Government of Sindh has secured a loan from the Asian Development Bank aimed at enhancing the inclusiveness of the secondary education system in the province. The loan will finance the upgrading of 160 existing primary schools to the secondary level, to be operated under the Education Management Organization program. Furthermore, the loan will support the training of 2630 secondary school teachers to enhance their teaching and learning capacity, as well as the provision of laboratory equipment to 500 secondary schools. In addition, the secondary education examination system will be reformed through the training of 485 assessors and staff of all Boards of intermediate and secondary education in Sindh, the implementation of an Optical Mark Reading System for the boards, and the revision of the curriculum from grades 9 to 12. The Sindh Secondary Education Project has been established to achieve these targets and was approved by the Asian Development Bank in June 2020, with a 6-year implementation period.
