Abstract

Punjab Government of Pakistan under the headship of the Chief Minister’s has taken many moves for the promotion of education. Therefore, “Assessing effectiveness of quality enhancement measures in chief minister’s roadmap; perception of headteachers and teachers” were investigated in this study. The objective was to check the effectiveness of CM roadmap indicators on Quality Education. Taking district Sahiwal of Panjab Pakistan, as population, 300 teachers and headteachers of school side were selected as sample of study. A multi-stage convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. It was concluded that CM road map indicators does not have any statistically significant difference in teacher’s gender but have statistically significant difference on urban-rural teachers of district Sahiwal. By analysis of variance technique it has been finally concluded that CM road map indicators have substantial effect on quality education. The study opens the doors for future researcher to further evaluate other indicators except quality.

Introduction

Teacher training refers to the strategies, measures, and establishment designed to equip (prospective) teachers with the familiarity, attitudes, behaviors, and skills they require to perform their responsibilities effectively in the classroom, school, and wider communal. Teacher’s education programs aim to promote or improve production together with consistent practical and theoretical curriculum models.(Suzie and John, 2018)

With the overview of continuous professional development (CPD) as a model for teachers in 2006, Punjab attendant as the first province spoke of its short-comings in-service educator training system. (Fraser, Carroll, McKinney,  & Reid, 2006).

The chief minister, in December 2010 approved a roadmap for the betterment of schools in Punjab. The government of Punjab (Pakistan) merely takes accountability for pervading quality teaching for all concerning. The initial footsteps for teachers improved student’s background ascendancy and distinction in education. This comes under a “Road Map”.(Chief Minister Road Map, 2010) Elementary education is quite indispensable for society and the state. Elementary education cannot be acceptable in a plain article. This study is related to discussion of significance of elementary education in Pakistan. Sultana, Nargis 2001). Though this is not a matter of apprehension of higher education to be resolved. Higher education initially begins when you finish high school. Thus if government is endorsing only higher education it means it is not taking a step towards revamping the status of child for HEC is only concerning colleges. That is the main dissimilarity between significance of higher and primary education Madhavi et al. (2017).

Objectives of the Study

The objectives of the current study were :

1. To investigate the problems in implementing road map indicators?

2. To find out the measures to improve quality education by road map indicators?




Research Hypothesis

This study will examine the following unsound hypothesis: 

1. H1: There was no statistically significant difference in the teacher’s role and road map indicators.

2. H2: There was no statistically significant difference in the residential area of teacher and road map indicators.

His political career and services are a matter of achievements and otherwise.




Chief Minister’s School Reforms Roadmap (2010)

The central idea of the newly proposed landmark program of school reforms is ‘Parho Punjab, Barho Punjab’. It seems that it will be a key to a prosperous society. The School Reforms Roadmap (2010) beyond any doubt will pave the way to human development and economic growth. The Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan) approved a Roadmap in December 2010 to improve schools in the Province. To achieve this target, the chief minister himself started the enrollment campaign by assigning the admission form of two children. Furthermore, to enhance quality education, every schoolchild will be bound to secure at least 85% in examination. 

According to Barber (2013), there is an improvement in students' as well as teachers’ attendance after implementation of this roadmap which is from 81% and 83% to 92%. He claimed that 1.5million children have been enrolled as a result of the roadmap implementation (Educational Reforms: 

It is a fact that School Reforms Roadmap Programme by the Chief Minister of Punjab is an objective-based programme. The following are the four main objectives of the School Reforms Roadmap Programme by the Chief Minister Punjab:

Objective 1: to ensure high-quality teaching and learning in every classroom

Objective 2: to improve leadership and accountability at all levels

Objective 3: to Support with high-quality school infrastructure

Objective 4: to Enable a conducive learning environment for students   

Some striking features of Chief Minister’s School Developments Roadmap (2010) are given below as exposed in the re-launching ceremony at Lahore in March 2015:

• Get out-of-school children back in schools.

• Achieve 100% enrollment of children at school.

• Equip the schools with modern educational facilities.

• Provide all financial aids to the school students to carry on their education.

Research Methodology

Survey-based detailed information was figured about perception of headteachers and teachers. All the teachers and headteachers at primary and elementary schools of district Sahiwal (Panjab Pakistan) shaped the population of the present study. There were 984 male and female Government schools registered in Sahiwal.  A multi-stage sampling technique was used. From 984 primary and elementary schools, total 197 schools were selected conveniently. From 197 schools the teachers were nominated as respondent of the study. Total 300 Head Teachers and Teachers were selected for study. Self-constructed questionnaires, containing 40 items were arranged, translated into Urdu for the ease of respondents to sound understanding of the items and administered on sample of 40 respondents primarily for pilot study. The built-in final questionnaire comprised of 40 items. Concerns of supervisor and consultancy of other experts in the relevant field were also sustained for the content validity of tool. For reliability analysis Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was computed through SPSS version 16 which was found to be 0.87 that pointed towards the tool was trustworthy for the data assembling. The final questionnaire contained 34 restricted response items. After data collection, data analysis was made using the same SPSS version 16.

Data Analysis

Descriptive and inferential procedures such as frequency, percentage, and t-test were used for data analysis and to test the hypothesis.

Conclusion

This study intended to investigate the effect of “Assessing Effectiveness of quality enhancement measures in the chief minister's roadmap: perception of headteachers and teachers” of district Sahiwal teachers. The present study concluded that Quality Education was affected by teachers' training and lab practices. The teacher training and lab practices were found to be alike among gender and residential area. 

This study uses the multiple linear regression model to measure the effect of CM road map indicators on Quality Education and found that in a monthly test, PEC exam, teacher guides, and labs have a considerably positive effect on Quality Education. While lesson planning and teacher training have considerable negative impact on Quality Education. 

Recommendations

In the background of the present research and its findings, the following are the recommendation need to be considered for further research.

• The Punjab Education Commission Examination may be compulsory for private sectors. It may boost a healthy and constructive competition between private and govt. sector.

• The investigation on the same topic as well as the qualitative approach of study may be conducted in other districts of the Punjab Pakistan, to find out effectiveness of Punjab Government’s policies regarding student performance and achievement at secondary level.
