These schools feature a diverse range of structural designs, encompassing lightweight steel structures, heavy-duty steel structures, and reinforced concrete structures, all meticulously crafted in accordance with the designs sanctioned by the University of Engineering Peshawar and meticulously vetted by the National Engineering Council Pakistan (NESPAK).
The initiatives are focused on providing safe and secure learning environments, aiming to foster a brighter future for students and communities.
Upgradation Of Schools
KnK Japan actively supports the upgradation of schools in alignment with Education Department. By providing crucial infrastructure across KP Province, we bridge educational transitions, enhance learning opportunities, and significantly contribute to the reduction of out-of-school Children, fostering increased enrollment and retention rates.
Aligned with Educational Sector
In line with the Elementary & Secondary Education Sector Plan 2020 & 2025 and its guidelines, KnK Japan have consistently prioritized supporting the Department in areas of need reflecting its commitment to the educational development goals outlined therein.
Empowering Educational Upgradation
As part of our commitment to support educational development, we have played a pivotal role in providing infrastructure to schools slated for upgradation across District Abbottabad, Mansehra, Battagram, and District Torghar in KP Province a crucial step in improving the educational landscape and enhancing learning opportunities.
Bridging Educational Transitions
The schools supported by us have not only met the needs of the E&SE Department KP Province in term of upgradation but have also made significant contributions to improving the transition rate of students from primary to middle level, middle to high level, and high level to higher secondary level. This has ultimately reduced the number of out-of-school girls aged 9 to 16 years, fostering increased enrollment and retention rates.
Alternate Learning Pathways
Empowering Girls Through Alternate Learning Pathways Centers (ALPs)
Cooperation Agency (JICA), KnK Japan proudly introduces the ALPs project, establishing vital learning centers in the remote regions of Karg Allai and Bateela Allai within District Battagram. These centers cater to the educational needs of girls facing various challenges, ensuring they can continue their post-primary education.
Pioneering Educational Progress
The ALPs project pioneers a condensed 18-month curriculum, allowing girls to attain their lower secondary school certificate efficiently. Tailored to their needs, this pilot program accelerates educational progress for girls who have encountered obstacles in their learning journey.
Partnership with AIOU
Examinations conducted by Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, mark the successful completion of education for ALPs participants. The university’s involvement not only assesses and acknowledges their achievements but also enhances the program’s credibility.
Building Livelihoods
ALPs goes beyond formal education, providing practical skills to empower girls for future livelihoods. Focused on sustainability, the program ensures that graduates possess the necessary skills and capabilities for meaningful and sustainable employment.
Enrollment and Impact
Since its inception, the ALPs project has enrolled 150 girls across the two centers, demonstrating its profound impact on underserved girls in remote areas. These enrollment figures underscore the tangible success of the project in providing educational opportunities and skills development to empower girls for a brighter future.
