ISLAMABAD:

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has completed the distribution of 120,520 teaching and reading resources to 1,460 schools in seven districts of Sindh - Sukkur, Larkana, Dadu, Qambar Shahdadkot, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Kashmore - and five towns in Karachi, under a $165 million government-to-government initiative.

The project is being implemented under the Sindh Basic Education Programme (SBEP), which is the US government's direct support to the Sindh Education Sector Plan 2014-18. As an integral component of the SBEP, the Sindh Reading Programme (SRP) is in line with Sindh's educational priorities to advance primary education and contribute to USAID's global education target of 100 million children with improved rudimentary learning and literacy skills.
