Message from the Honourable
    Minister for School Education, Punjab
A�er a lag of months due to COVID-19, the schools are reopening and academic
ac�vi�es are resuming in a phased manner across Punjab. The school closure
caused reduc�on in students contact �me in the current academic year resul�ng
in learning loss for children. This extraordinary situa�on called for a custom
designed approach in order to ensure that the remaining academic �me is
u�lized in the most efficient manner.

I am pleased to announce that School Educa�on Department, Government of
Punjab has risen up to meet the challenge caused by the pandemic and
subsequent loss of valuable teaching and learning �me in schools. I appreciate
Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB) and Quaide-e-Azam Academy for
Educa�on Development (QAED) for outlining essen�al components of the
curriculum that merited priori�zed a�en�on and, developing comprehensive
support package for the teachers. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance
by PESP-II for this ini�a�ve by SED.

I earnestly hope that this effort by the School Educa�on Department,
Government of the Punjab will significantly help mi�gate the learning loss caused
to our children as a result of the COVID -19 outbreak.

Message from the
Secretary for School Education Department, Punjab

    COVID-19 has been a significant disrup�on for educa�onal ins�tu�ons, educators
    and learners across public and private schools. The educa�onal ac�vi�es are
    resuming and the learning loss due to shortened academic year is one of the
    substan�ve challenges to be overcome.

    In this regard, I would like to commend the efforts of Punjab Curriculum and
    Textbook Board (PCTB) and Quaide-e-Azam Academy for Educa�on Development
    (QAED) for their efforts to respond to this challenge. PCTB and QAED teams
    worked �relessly to revisit the curriculum for iden�fying core learning objec�ves
    for students for the remaining academic year; and outlining a roadmap to
    mi�gate the loss of learning �me for the students. These are valuable
    contribu�ons towards bringing the educa�on system back on track across
    Punjab.

    I would also like to thank PESP-II for extending necessary technical assistance in
    making it happen. I sincerely hope that the efforts of PCTB and QAED will help
    mi�gate the learning loss caused by school closures, and help streamline the
    learning trajectory of all the children in public sector schools.
