Project Description:

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is a development partner to the Government of Sindh and is currently supporting the Department of Education and Literacy with implementation of the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP) in Districts Sukkur, Khairpur, Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Jacobabad, Kashmore, Dadu and selected towns of Karachi city. The overarching goal of SBEP is to increase and sustain student enrollment in primary, middle and secondary schools in targeted geographical locations in Sindh. The Sindh Reading Program (SRP) is a five-year initiative in the same geographic areas of the parent SBEP. SRP will support the SBEP goal based on lessons learned from USAID and the Government of Sindh’s legacy of early grade teaching and learning.

 Over the life of project, SRP aims to improve:

  • Teacher competencies for effective early grade reading and mathematics instruction;
  • Early grade reading and mathematics assessment practice;
  • Student access to supplementary reading and mathematics material;
  • Participation of parents and caregivers in support of early grade literacy and early grade numeracy for out of school children.
