NEW SCHOOL PROGRAM (NSP) was launched in 2007 with outreach to only 5 tehsils in 5 districts of Punjab and now NSP network is spread all across Punjab. NSP is the public sector’s foot print in the Cholistan Desert with 111 Community Schools and 31 Mobile Schools. 16 schools have been established for Brick Kiln community and 12 NSP schools have been modelled as per government schools with tripartite agreement mode under Model Village School (MVS) initiative. Furthermore, NSP has also entered into partnership with 11 NGOs/CSOs.
Continuation of NSP partnership is dependent upon passing of Annual QAT which is conducted every year by PEF-Quality Assurance and Improvement (QAI). If school does not qualify two consecutive annual QATs, payment to schools is reduced to 50% till passing next/upcoming QAT. In-case school does not qualify next chance, partnership with partner school is cancelled.
