 Future Goals of Kashmir Education Foundation                      

The establishment of the following educational facilities has been planned by the Kashmir Education Foundation over the next ten years.

Elementary Schools

Six modern elementary day schools for boys and girls (prep to class VIII) will be set up in selected rural areas of the country, with at least one such school in each province. Basically these schools will be structured on the lines of well-known public schools. Admission into them will be for talented boys and girls largely of poor families of rural background who cannot afford to send them to good institutions. 

Every school will typically have beside administrative facilities, nine classrooms, each for 25 students. It will have science, audio-visual, computer and language laboratories, art & craft room, library, gymnasium, assembly hall, proper sports ground and other recreational facilities. The schools will have highly qualified lady teachers who must have done post graduate teachers’ training diploma course at a teachers training institute of repute. To attract the best possible talent for the school faculty, suitable residential accommodation will be provided to the principal and the non-local lady teachers.

Institute of Teacher Education

Kashmir Education Foundation plans to set up another Institute of Teacher Education in Karachi for training the teachers from Sindh and Balochistan province. In addition it is planned to construct a dedicated Secondary level ITE for subject specialist in the proximity of ITE Pakhowal. The proposal has been forwarded to Ministry of Education. The Secondary level ITE will be provisionally established in the vacant space in Soan Valley Public School Pakhowal Subject to availability of funds. University of Gloucester has undertaken to extend maximum help for Secondary level ITE and endorse the diploma of Secondary level ITE, as and when established.


Colleges for Girls and Boys

Two residential colleges, one each for boys and girls, will be set up in Rawalpindi region with focus on enabling students who complete their education from the Foundation’s schools, to continue their education in institutions of excellence up to “A” level and then prepare for BA/BSc degree in order to enable them to gain admission in top professional and other institutions within Pakistan as well as outside on merit basis.  The colleges will be located within a radius of about 30 miles from Rawalpindi/Islamabad so that the faculty members living in the city could travel to the campuses within 30 to 40 minutes by bus or car.  

During their meeting in November 2000, the Board of Trustees of KEF decided to upgrade Pearl Valley Public School to the level of GCSE / Metric during the next two years to enable the talented children to continue getting high quality education in this school until such time KEF's own colleges are set up.
