Abstract
UK aid is the leading agency that contributes the most in the education sector of Pakistan. Its
Department for International Development (DFID) is a bilateral aid agency that invests the
taxpayer money of the people of the UK in social development causes across developing
countries. Punjab Education Sector Programme (PESP) phase II is the largest aid support
programme by UK aid anywhere in the world. The purpose of this research is to evaluate this
programme in terms of its usefulness and influence it has made in the education system of
Pakistan. A qualitative document analysis technique was used to critically review the documents
and formal reports on an exclusively developed and validated framework. The findings and
interventions are analyzed in the context of educational indicators in Pakistan. Distinct discussion
points are raised and recommendations are given to further enhance the effectiveness of the aid
programmes. The study is significant for all foreign aid agencies especially the UK aid, the
education system of Pakistan, and aid-recipient institutions.
