READ (Rural Education and Development) Foundation has been implementing educational and welfare projects in the developing world since 1994.
A registered charity in the UK, READ originally started work in Pakistan and Kashmir where it runs over 330 schools with more than 70,000 children, 3,500 teachers and over 7,000 orphans, making it one of the largest educational NGOs of rural Pakistan.
The United Nations Millennium Development Goal number 2 is to ‘Achieve universal primary education’ – namely, ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. We believe READ foundation is making a significant contribution to this goal.
QUALITY SEAL:
READ works compliant to a set of quality markers which we call the Quality Seal. These are:
Adopted a grassroots approach to all our work. Ensuring monitoring and training in our schools to assure the quality of education. This standard has been met through the provision of 5 ‘Centres for Training and Coordination’ (CTCs) – each CTC on average catering for 75 schools, where we have a team of Education and Training Officers visiting schools and closely monitoring and auditing all aspects of school life.
A special focus on girl’s education; girls make up around 46% of the total student population in our school system.
Focus on results - children in READ Foundation schools have a history of excellent results; In annual examination 2008, our schoolchildren maintained their distinction of producing great results in SSC and HSSC examinations.
Facilitation of employment opportunity for educated youth, on leaving our schools, in their local areas; around 3,000 youth from remote areas, especially female have been provided a decent means of livelihood in their own communities following completion of study from READ schools.
READ Foundation has adopted the 'Association for Academic Quality' syllabus and lesson plans for all its schools, ensuring high quality delivery in a structured and quality managed way.
