SECTION 3 TERMS OF REFERENCE

End-line survey of infrastructure rehabilitated/constructed under Humqadam Programme in government Higher Secondary schools (HSS), Regular schools (primary, middle and high) and Dangerous schools in selected districts of Punjab and KP

1. Programme Background The United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is committed to support Pakistan in addressing the severe unmet needs in the education sector. The FCDO is supporting the



implementation of Humqadam: the brand name for the School Construction and Rehabilitation Programme (SCRP); April 2015 – June 2021, to address the deficiencies and development of educational infrastructure and rehabilitation of government schools in Punjab. The Humqadam-SCRP Programme aims to provide the quality infrastructure through both additional classrooms and, to a smaller extent, through addressing deficiencies in existing facilities subject to approvals from both the respective provincial governments and the local communities. Key phases of the Humqadam programme followed for schools construction and rehabilitation are:

• The government provided a list of schools to Humqadam which they believe require assistance from this programme.

• Baseline Surveys (infrastructure and Social surveys) were carried out to further verify the list of schools provided by the government and to know whether they need any assistance and if yes then the extent of the assistance required. - These Baseline Surveys also compiled a valuable and comprehensive set of data on major

aspects of the proposed schools and their beneficiaries. - Engineering surveys were carried out to assess whether school fits the criteria for further

work. • Community Committees for School Infrastructure (CCSIs) were formed to ensure wider

community involvement, oversight during construction and to support the Parents and Teachers Committee (PTCs) and School Council (SCs) in maintaining the schools afterward for sustainability.

• Statement of requirements (SoRs) for each school discussed and agreed with the school administration and/or community

• Bespoke and standardized designs prepared for construction. • Appropriate Retrofitting plans and specifications established. • Schools tendered to the construction contractors through the competitive bidding process. • Quality construction/works ensured through frequent inspections and robust monitoring. • Joint visit of CCSI/PTC and State Education Department (SED) for physical verification of

schools cleared for release • Completed schools as per agreed scope handed over to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),

SED. • Supporting SED/local schools authorities during any applicable Defects Liability Period (DLP)

1.1. HUMQADAM/SCRP OBJECTIVES

To achieve the objectives set by the Pakistan National Plan of Action the Humqadam/SCRP Programme aims to address the educational needs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab in consultation with the local authorities and the Government. The specific objectives of the SCRP-Humqadam are to:

• Improve the enrolment, retention and attendance, with a special focus on female education, • Increase in student attendance rate and, reduce the student dropout rate, • Facilitate rehabilitation and/or addition of facilities to improve the present school's infrastructure. • Incubate a sense of ownership among PTCs and School Councils, the community and

Education Officers, including through school-based community projects. • Enhance the learning and teaching environment in Humqadam SCRP schools; and • Contribute towards Pakistan’s achievement of the sustainable development goals, with a

particular focus on SGD Goal 4: to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities”.1

The Humqadam-SCRP aims to help the Govt. and community to overcome the following;

• Overcrowding: More than 40 students per classroom, • Excessive multi-grading: Multiple grades being taught in one classroom, • Shelterless schools: Schools either completely without shelter or with students being taught

outdoors.


This programme is committed to delivering approximately 7,000 new classrooms in Punjab and 400 regular schools and 202 HSS in KP with all associated toilets across the 16 operational districts in Punjab and KP.

1.2. GEOGRAPHICAL PRESENCE Punjab: The majority of school construction in Punjab was focused on the following eight districts:

• Lahore; Faisalabad; Sialkot; and Rahim Yar Khan, Rajanpur; Bahawalpur; Muzzaffargarh; and Kasur

No Item Calculation 1) Overcrowding Number of students attending / 40 (assuming a 40:1

ratio of students to classrooms) minus the existing number of classrooms used for teaching. Unadmitted students must be included in the total strength.

2) Number of additional classrooms required due to multi-grading

If the answer to Qu. A-7 (Are there more than two grades taught in the same classroom at the same time?) is ‘yes’ then additional classrooms due to multi-grading should be determined. Classrooms to address multi-grading the school should be assessed through the following steps: 1. Does the school have more than 100 students? If

not then multi-grading will not be considered. No further action.

2. Divide the number of students attending in each grade by 40 to determine the number of classrooms for each grade. Round to the nearest integer.

3. Sum the integers, and subtract the number of existing classrooms used for teaching

3) Student to toilet ratio One toilet for persons with disability will always be provided, in addition to the below calculations: Number of girls attending / 80 (assuming a 80:1 ratio of students to toilets) Number of boys attending / 80 Sum the number, and minus the existing number of toilets. Girls and boys toilets should be provided in separate blocks for designated co-education schools.

4) Capacity for septic tank 25 litres per student per day, multiplied by the number of students, minus the existing capacity.

5) Capacity for water tank 8 litres per student per day, (assuming pour-flush toilets, otherwise 15 litres) multiplied by the number of students, minus the existing capacity.


7. Humqadam-SCRP Guidance Notes for End-line School Surveys Introduction These guidance notes accompany the survey documents entitled End-line Survey for Primary Schools, as well as End-line Survey for Higher Secondary Schools. These guidance notes are relevant to both surveys, unless otherwise indicated in the text. These notes are intended for use by both the organization awarded the contract to perform End-line Surveys and by the enumerators working with that company. They should be referred to when training the enumerators, and at least one copy should be available with the enumerator at any given time during a survey for reference. It is expected that the interviewee is the head teacher, however in their absence a knowledgeable teacher or a knowledgeable member of the Parent Teacher Council / School Council (PTC / SC) may be interviewed.

General School Information It is recommended that all information collected is from a primary data source, (i.e. an interviewee or sighted paperwork) rather than a secondary data source.

Question Description / Explanation School Name Despite the options provided, this should include the school’s designated code

(e.g. ‘GPS’), and should match the name of the school in the Education Management Information System (EMIS) data, or the Programme Monitoring and Implementation Unit (PMIU) data in the Punjab province. For example a school name should read “GHSS Akbar Pura”, not “Akbar Pura”.

Primary / Middle / High School / HSS

The checked box should correspond with EMIS and PMIU data; however if students in grades outside of these levels attend, then this shall be noted in the attendance records later in the survey.

Male / Female Throughout this programme we have seen that in some rural schools, while the school is designated a male or female school, both genders attend (due to a lack of facilities for one gender or the other). Even if the school is designated to be one gender, the enumerator should ask the head teacher if anyone from the opposite gender attends regularly.

School Address

If the official address is not enough information to locate the school then additional information should be provided here. Geographical Information System (GIS) coordinates can be provided.

EMIS This EMIS number should match the Government of Pakistan EMIS. District / Tehsil / UC / Village

The district and Tehsil names should match those on the EMIS and PMIU data. The Union Council information and Village should be obtained from the interviewee.

Contact Details The contact details should be correct as at the time of the End-line survey, especially the name and contacts for the head teacher, which should be taken in person.

Latitude, Longitude

This can be recorded either via a GPS camera, or by pinning the school on Google Maps. Alternatively, the enumerator can use a GPS locator, or can pin their location on a smart phone while at the school. Despite the method used, the numbers should be manually transcribed into the survey form, or entered into the digital (Excel) survey results.

8. General Details

GOVERNMENT TERMINOLOGY

The Government of Pakistan (GoP) uses terminology which has not been carried through in this survey, as plain language has been preferred to avoid confusion. This GoP terminology is included in these guidance notes in case the terminology is noted on the EMIS or PMIU websites, or in case the interviewees refer to this. These definitions are:

• Functional: A school which is performing or is able to perform its regular functions.


• Non-functional: A school which is not performing or is not able to perform its regular functions, for example it is unsafe to enter.

• Merged: A school which has been fused with another school due to its operating adjacent to the school in question and/or the enrolment dwindled to extremely low.

• De-notified: School which is no longer official recognized or notified by the Government. Consolidated: A school in which to ensure there is a one teacher to one classroom ratio for each class, a girls’ primary school can be merged with a boys’ primary school in the same village/locality, within 500m of each other. Both buildings are underutilisation to ensure the one classroom – one teacher policy is maintained. This is done to manage the problem

SECTION 6 BUSINESS ETHICS POLICY & CODE OF ETHICS

Business integrity is a consistency of form in conduct and behaviour that, for any firm that seeks to achieve it, earns the respect of its peers and the trust of its clients. Reinforced by a robust code of ethics, business integrity can be achieved in the application and enforcement of a set of guiding principles governing the actions of the firm, its staff and business partners.

IMC Worldwide Ltd has a policy that outlines its approach to business integrity in two parts: a Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct.

Our Code of Ethics outlines the ethical principles of IMC and its staff, representing the aspirations of the firm at the business level. Our Code of Conduct translates these principles into practical guidance that empowers IMC, its staff, its business partners and their employees to realise these aspirations.

Our Business Ethics Policy – the combination of these codes – has been developed and enforced for the practical purpose of protecting IMC, its staff and business partners from acts of corruption and the potential criminal liabilities incumbent upon us should we find ourselves party to such acts. Specifically, it recognises the responsibilities of IMC as a UK-registered firm under the UK Bribery Act 2010, and its responsibilities in accordance with the relevant laws, statutes and codes applicable in the countries in which we operate. IMC will amend this code as and when necessary to reflect changes in national legislation, international agreements etc.

As part of our commitment to achieving the principles laid down in our Code of Ethics, IMC has assigned a board-director responsible for monitoring the application of our Code of Conduct on all projects undertaken by the firm. As Managing Director and Board Director responsible for Business Compliance and Ethics, Mr Gavin English is charged specifically with ensuring the firm maintains its commitment to combat corruption, and continues to promote a zero-tolerance approach on the issue to our clients and business partners.
