PEF: Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has completed three-day

training of teachers of six selected low-performing partner schools in Lahore.
A PEF spokesperson said the training was launched in connection with pilot study project of Jolly phonics offered by the Phonics Club free of cost. Under this project, training of teachers and provision of learning material for one class has been completed in order to demonstrate success and achieve academic support.
The project will also focus on an ongoing monitoring to support and maximise the effectiveness of the project and to generate evidence and research of its impact. Jolly Phonics Programme is a proven method of accelerated teaching which is highly effective for children of all ages. It is dedicated to promote synthetic phonics approach through Jolly Phonics Programme.
It is expected that this project will greatly help to promote synthetic phonics’ teaching principles which would empower students to apply taught-knowledge and skills to their independent reading, writing and spellings skills. This project is a part of PEF’s institutional vision to provide good quality education to the partnering school students so that they use this vital support to excel in their practical life.
