The Punjab School Education Department’s Programme Monitoring and Implementation Unit recently orchestrated a significant ceremony under the Transformation in Access Learning Equity and Education Management (TALEEM) Programme. Sponsored by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), the event saw the distribution of cutting-edge tablets to CEOs of District Education Authorities (DEAs) by Caretaker Provincial Education Minister Mansoor Qadir and GPE Country Team Lead Dr. Hoa Tran Ringrose.
This initiative, aligning with the TALEEM Programme’s broader goals, aims to equip approximately 33,000 elementary schools across Punjab with state-of-the-art tablets. The tablets will support teachers in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and provide students and instructors access to a variety of online teaching and learning materials.
The ultimate objective is to revolutionize Punjab’s education system, promoting accessibility, equality, and technological sophistication. Beyond the tablet distribution, the TALEEM Programme strives to enhance education at primary and middle levels, champion inclusive education, introduce digital advancements through the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), and foster a transformative mindset through effective communication.
As these tablets reach educators and students, the TALEEM Programme takes a significant stride toward realizing its vision of a more accessible, equitable, and technologically advanced education system for the province. The ceremony exemplifies the stakeholders’ commitment to transforming Punjab’s educational landscape.
