Abstract
Primary education is very important level of education. It
contributes more towards the socio economic growth of the
country. Provision of Primary education is the right of every
child (Universal Declaration of Human rights (1989)) and is
recognized by the Government of Pakistan. Resources available
with the Government of Pakistan are not sufficient to provide
this opportunity. The Government alone cannot meet the
challenges. So some other organizations like NCHD also
support the primary education of the country by its Universal
Primary Education (UPE) program. NCHD is playing a vital
role in the development of primary education in the country. The
contribution of NCHD has not been fully determined. To plan for
future, it is required that the contribution of NCHD should be
determined. Recently a study was conducted to investigate the
role of NCHD in the development of Primary education in
Pakistan. Study was delimited to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Six districts of high literacy rate and six districts of low literacy
rate were selected as sample. The major findings of the study
related to contribution Universal Primary Education program of
NCHD in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are presented in this study. This
can be generalized to Pakistan.
