PEF Cracks Down on Schools Faking Admission Data, Funding to be Cut

The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has announced it will withdraw funding from schools found guilty of submitting fake student enrolment data. The decision aims to increase transparency and accountability within the education sector.

PEF officials revealed that 13,000 schools affiliated with the foundation will now be under strict surveillance. Future funding will be linked directly to the verified student enrolment figures. Funds will only be released based on accurate student data, confirmed through attendance records, to prevent misuse of resources.

A digital tracking system will be implemented to monitor enrolment data, and schools will be required to submit online records of student admissions. Regular inspections will also be conducted to evaluate attendance registers, school infrastructure, and facilities provided to students.

In cases where discrepancies in student attendance are detected, exit registers will undergo detailed examination. The physical condition of school buildings and furniture will also be checked to ensure they meet PEF standards.

PEF has warned that strict actions will be taken against school administrators involved in falsifying data, highlighting the foundation’s commitment to supporting only those institutions that genuinely serve students.
