Alif Ailaan Midterm Report Card for Members of the Provincial Assembly – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa May 11, 2013 to November 11, 2015 On November 11, 2015, Pakistan’s four provincial assemblies and the National Assembly reached the mid-term mark in their tenure. The Alif Ailaan campaign has assessed the performance of every MNA and MPA since the 2013 elections against four benchmarks for education and awarded grades in each category, as well as an overall grade to each MNA, each MPA, and the assemblies overall. This document contains the Alif Ailaan Midterm Report Card for MPAs. What are the MPAs graded on? The four benchmarks on which MPAs have been graded on are: a) the state of school facilities (with the highest grades for those constituencies that made the most progress in the provision of boundary walls, electricity, drinking water and toilet facilities since the 2013 election) b) the state of gender parity (the ratio of boys to girls or girls to boys – with the highest grades for those constituencies that have shown the greatest movement toward parity since the 2013 election) c) the student to teacher ratio (with the highest grades for those constituencies with the largest improvement in student teacher ratio since 2013 – where low student to teacher ratios are considered better) d) the retention rate between class IV and class II (with the highest grades awarded to those constituencies with the highest improvement in the retention rate since 2013) Data limitations The construction of the grades is not based on ideal benchmarks, but rather on benchmarks made from official government data on education that was available, as well as representative of a desirable outcome in education. -
