The Annual Confidential Report (ACR) was the previous standard for evaluating 16 Grade Government officers, police, teachers, and doctors in Pakistan. It contained questions that were not specific to the teaching profession, such as typing speed, intelligence & mental alertness.
In 2018, Zindagi Trust initiated a process of collaboration with the
Sindh Education and Literacy Department (SELD)
and government stakeholders to introduce a more relevant and effective teacher performance
evaluation format.
After 5 years, in 2022, the Sindh Government in Pakistan approved a new teacher performance
evaluation format to replace the generic Annual Confidential Report. The previous evaluation
system had little connection to a teacher's role or pedagogical skills. The new Performance
Evaluation Report (PER) includes sections on
Classroom Management, Planning and Instruction, and Classroom Assessments, enabling
teachers to be assessed on student-centered activities, maintaining regular feedback, and
encouraging a positive classroom environment.
Zindagi Trust has initiated the implementation and training of teachers for the new PER in
Sindh and other provinces.
