The present study aimed to assess the performance of a non-formal basic
education (NFBE) schools project initiated in the province of Punjab with the
assistance of the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA). The study was
conducted in 120 NFBE schools in four districts of Punjab and it lasted for a
period of three months. It was a survey study in which data were collected from
female teachers, officers of NFBE, students and their parents.100 NFBE school
teachers, 20 officers of NFBE schools and 500 students and their parents
participated in the study. Data was collected through questionnaires and
interviews. It was found that the project is achieving its targets as planned. It also
found that students’ drop-out rate was higher in NFBE schools and the teachers
were not satisfied with job structure. It was further found that a proper media
campaign might usefully be initiated to mobilize the community to participate in
NFBE projects. The study recommended that learning materials be developed in
different local languages.
