Welcome to the Sindh Primary Education Assessment & Research (Spear) Program
About the SPEAR Program:
The Sindh Primary Education Assessment & Research (SPEAR) Program is a groundbreaking initiative by the Luminary Learning Circle Foundation (LLCF). Our mission is to transform the educational landscape by addressing a significant issue: the decline in the number of government school students progressing to higher education.
Why SPEAR?
Despite well-equipped government schools with highly qualified teachers and well-designed curricula, students often struggle due to learning gaps that develop during primary education (Grade I to V). SPEAR aims to bridge these gaps and reignite students’ interest in education, providing them with the tools to succeed academically and in life.
Program Phases:
Phase I: Currently underway, this phase involves guiding teachers about the program, data collection for all students, and a comprehensive evaluation of school infrastructure and resources.
Phase II: Follow-up visits to schools, providing model assessment papers in the form of a guidebook, and addressing teachers’ queries and concerns. Team LLCF is available 24/7 on their HELPLINE to provide ongoing support and guidance.
Phase III: At the end of the academic year, final assessments of the children will be conducted, ensuring that students are well-prepared for higher education.
Program Reach:
In the academic year 2023-24, SPEAR is being piloted in Karachi’s District Central and set to be implemented in all 207 schools within the district, benefiting around 36,000 students. The program has garnered support from key stakeholders, including the Chief Minister of Sindh, Secretary of Education, and the District Centre’s Director of Education, and is being implemented in collaboration with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
