<p>DFID Pakistan provides funding to the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for education
through the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Support Programme (KESP). This includes different
teacher professional development programmes (both pre and in-service). Three new teachers
working in the Kalash area have participated in the KESP supported pre-service teacher
professional development programme, and one of these teachers is Kalash. From April
2020, all teachers in Chitral will participate in the in-service continuous professional
development programme, including those who work in schools in Kalash areas. The content
of these training programmes is focused on pedagogy, classroom management, curriculum,
and equity but does not specifically include teaching Kalash children their own history
and culture.</p><p> </p><p>DFID Pakistan are in the process of designing a new programme
for education support in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which will have an inclusive education
focus. One of the outcomes of the new programme will be to deliver equitable education
for all children to meet Sustainable Development Goal 4. There will be an increased
focus on marginalised children such as girls, children with disabilities and ethnic
minorities. The programme will aim to provide inclusive and equitable education for
all, and an improved learning environment for marginalised children. The programme
will also set up model inclusive schools in pilot districts to cater to the needs
of ethnic and religious minorities.</p>
