K-P launches project to manage school quality

Pilot project will be launched in Abbottabad

PESHAWAR: The K-P Elementary and Secondary Education Department on Saturday launched a School Quality Management Initiative [SQMI] in the province.



In the first phase, the project would be launched as a pilot in Abbottabad. The primary aim of SQMI is to revitalise the function of the Education Directorate to inspect the quality of teaching and learning process in K-P’s schools in a manner which is practical, useful, cost-effective and sustainable.

Moreover, the programme would monitor the quality of teaching and learning with a view to regularly identify needs where the quality of teaching can be improved.



The SQMI shall also help the Elementary and Secondary Education Department (ESED) provide regular feedback to teachers and headmasters for remedial action. As a result, the system would empower the Assistant District Education Officers (ASDEOs) to carry out effective and useful inspections.
