PESHAWAR, APR 23: /DNA/ – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Foundation conducted a one-day training workshop aimed at reviewing its biannual performance and enhancing the employees’ capacity. The workshop was organized by the Foundation’s Academy in collaboration with the Association for Academic Quality (AFAQ). All the employees including directors actively participated in the workshop.
Managing Director of the Foundation, Zarif Ulmani, who was the chief guest at the closing ceremony, emphasized that regularly reviewing employee performance and providing training to enhance their capabilities is vital for the progress of any institution and the delivery of benefits to the public. He pointed out the disparity between public and private sector institutions, stating that while private organizations focus seriously on performance evaluation and training for capacity building, public sector entities often neglect these aspects, which adversely impacts their performance.

Participants were informed that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Foundation has digitized and streamlined its operations, including scholarship distribution, career counseling, research, and employee HR and performance evaluation systems.
