Turning Government Schools into Inspiring Model Schools: Building a Brighter Future with Quality Education for Every Child

Government School Reform

Sunbeams has partnered with both federal and provincial governments to improve educational standards through our highly successful Government School Adoption Program. To date, we have uplifted and transformed nine government schools in Gojra, Toba Tek Singh, and Shah Allah Ditta, Islamabad.

In addition, Sunbeams has entered into a contract with the Federal Directorate of Education to provide 129 highly qualified teachers across 58 government schools in remote areas of the federal capital. These teachers, all with at least 16 years of education from top universities in Pakistan, specialize in English, Mathematics, Science, and Computer Science. Sunbeams recruited, trained, and placed these teachers in government schools starting in January 2022, and we have since implemented a robust system of monitoring, mentoring, and assessment to ensure ongoing improvement.

Across Pakistan, millions of children attend government schools where education is free, but the conditions are extremely poor. Many schools suffer from inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of trained teachers, weak monitoring systems, and a lack of focus on both academic achievement and personal development. As a result, learning outcomes are often shockingly low. To address these challenges, Sunbeams has implemented its comprehensive School Improvement Program, designed to tackle these issues holistically and improve the quality of education for all students.

The transformations underway are not only impactful but also sustainable, with long-lasting effects on the community.

9,000 indirect beneficiaries: This includes teachers who benefit from professional development and parents who are empowered through the improved educational outcomes of their children.
Pakistan 100 for 100 Initiative: A significant milestone has been achieved with 400 children and 134 out-of-school children successfully enrolled in schools within this union council, meeting the national target of universal enrollment.
School Certifications: All 7 schools have earned the prestigious 1-Star School Certification in the Sunbeams 3-stage certification program, further elevating the standard of education in the region.

The Way Forward

This is only the beginning. We firmly believe that reforming Government schools is the fastest, most economical path to reaching millions of children and providing them with a high-quality education. Our vision is to expand this initiative to many more underserved areas across Pakistan. To achieve this, we need the unwavering support of our generous donors, dedicated volunteers, passionate supporters, and the Government. Together, let’s illuminate the path of education and light up countless futures.
