A stakeholders’ seminar titled “Strengthening the Adopt-A-School Program” was organized by SEF in June 2005. AASP, a pioneering public private partnership initiative, seeks involvement and support of private sector to revitalize failing government schools. The school adopters represent a varied mélange of individuals and organizations who are working across Sindh for public school revival and comprise concerned citizens including retired educationists, members of the armed forces and NGOs etc.

The seminar held on 21st June 2005 aimed at increasing the school adopters’ understanding of the vision and mission of the Sindh Education Foundation and the program itself.  In addition, this seminar was conducted keeping in mind the need for a thriving relationship amongst the stakeholders. The participants included adopters from various districts of Sindh, concerned representatives from the Department of Education, and dignitaries including the Education Minister and the Governor.
