BACKGROUND

USAID has provided $47.5 million for the construction and rehabilitation of 17 Faculty of Education buildings across Pakistan, which together can support more than 5,000 student teachers and 200 faculty members total per year.

The construction of these buildings is a subset of the larger “Improving Education Quality” project, which is a five-year initiative to improve the quality of basic education across the country.  Through this project, USAID has also provided in-service training to almost 14,000 educators and has enabled students to earn their bachelors or associates degrees in education by funding more than 3,100 scholarships. 

KEY FEATURE OF THE BUILDINGS

All buildings feature state of the art energy efficient architecture and support systems leading to a modern conducive education environment.
