This initiative is part of the Open Data Strategy of Government of the Punjab.
The Government of Punjab employs 950 monitoring officers across the Province. These officers act as an independent school monitoring layer for the Government, and are tasked with making spot-visits to its 52,695 public schools across the Punjab, each month.
During these spot-visits, data is collected on teacher presence, student enrolment and attendance, as well as availability of facilities such as clean drinking water, electricity, and toilets.
