- Abstract
For the development and prosperity of a nation, Education is considered as a vital tool. The educated youth is a great asset for any country. International conventions and commitments are ensuring universal education across Pakistan and other developing countries in order to achieve goals. Government of Punjab has committed its resources in the form of many development projects. Literate Punjab Programme (LPP) was one of those efforts initiated to achieve the goal of universal education. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis of LPP was made in order to assess the advantages, merits, strengths and weaknesses of this program using the data collected from the stakeholders of this programme, i.e., the students, the teachers and the parents of the enrolled students. The structured questionnaire based survey approach was used and the results indicated positive results of this programme for stakeholders, besides certain weaknesses requiring attention for improvement in replica attempts in future like the availability of financial resources and teachers' compensation, Non-interest from executives, Interruption during the execution of the program, Punishment in NFBEs and ALCs. The major strengths of LPP were syllabus, teaching methodology and teachers training. Engagement of political figures, females and opinion makers in programme helped in achieving the targets. Teachers' availability, free stationery and learning environment were strong areas of LPP.
