The main objective of PRP is to support the provincial/regional departments of education (DoE) in improving the reading skills of 1.3 million students in grade 1 and grade 2 across Pakistan. The project is achieving this goal through three distinct but interrelated components that impact the overall quality of primary education, including teacher education, policy reforms, and community engagement in order to ultimately improve reading skills gains against established standards and more broadly, re-establish a ‘culture of reading’.
