TCF signs accord with FBISE for secondary schools’ affiliation

The Citizens Foundation (TCF) on Saturday inked an agreement with the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) regarding the affiliation of its secondary schools.

The association with the FBISE will provide centralised support for teaching and learning activities. Affiliating its network of secondary schools with the FBISE will help the TCF align its syllabi and assessment system across Pakistan, enabling the foundation to bring about improvements in teaching and learning for the less privileged communities where it works. It will also enable the TCF students to benefit from innovations relating to subject choice, use of technology, etc., which the FBISE provides across Pakistan.

The FBISE aims to support organisations that are in the field of education, particularly those serving less privileged communities. The collaboration with the TCF will help the FBISE deepen its footprint across Pakistan and to play its role in meeting the needs of less privileged communities.

Talking about this development, Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, president and CEO of the TCF, said: “TCF believes in continuous improvement and affiliation with Federal board for Intermediate and Secondary Education is a step in that direction. This step will help us bring about improvements in teaching and learning so that our students can continue to prosper and prove themselves in various walks of life. “We are glad to partner with The Citizens Foundation’s country-wide network of formal schools.”

“FBISE is committed to playing its part in improving the quality of education offered in less privileged communities. This partnership will help us in making a substantial contribution in this regard,” added Qaisar Alam, chairman of the FBISE.
