FDE establishes monitoring cell to improve schools performance

The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has established a dedicated monitoring cell to evaluate school performance nationwide, 24NewsHD TV reported on Friday. 

The cell aimed at strengthening the oversight and evaluation system of educational institutions operating under its jurisdiction.

According to an official notification, the decision was made to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of institutions by closely monitoring their academic, administrative, and financial performance. 

This step is part of FDE’s ongoing efforts to improve education quality across the country.

Deputy Director General (Policy) will oversee the monitoring cell, while Imran Jahangir has been appointed as Director of Monitoring, and Hafiz Farhan Akram will serve as Assistant Director.

The team will evaluate schools’ academic, administrative, and operational functions, collecting detailed data on student enrollment, attendance, and exam results to identify areas that need improvement.

The monitoring cell will also introduce key performance indicators (KPIs) for schools and create a schedule for regular field visits. Officials said this will help ensure schools are held accountable and improve overall institutional efficiency.

Data-driven insights will guide FDE in making informed policy decisions for educational development.

Digital tools and dashboards will play a key role in the new system, enabling real-time reporting and monitoring. The cell will submit monthly and quarterly reports to the Director General of FDE, promoting transparency and evidence-based decision-making.

All directors, AEOs, and heads of institutions have been instructed to cooperate fully with the cell.

FDE officials said the initiative will significantly improve educational standards in schools and ensure students receive better learning opportunities.
