PEF partner schools across Punjab have jointly appealed to the Government of Punjab for policy reforms aimed at ensuring quality education, financial sustainability, and improved learning outcomes for millions of students enrolled under Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) programs.
The partner schools have highlighted key challenges related to operational costs, attendance requirements, fee structures, assessment criteria, and infrastructure development. They have requested practical measures that can strengthen low-cost private schools and enable them to continue providing quality education to underprivileged children.

PEF partner schools reaffirm their commitment to supporting the government’s vision of educational excellence and expanding access to quality education across Punjab.
