Pakistan is lagging behind in education in this global world. To speed up the pace of work to achieve 100% literacy rate is a burning issue for the educationists. The failure of the public sector delivery of education system is adding fuel to the fire and educational innovations are the need of the hour. The very inception of Punjab Education Foundation is a step forward in this regard. Foundation Assisted Schools is the flagship program of Punjab Education Foundation under which assistance is provided to poor strata of society in the province of Punjab through Public-Private Partnership. This study aimed at analyzing whether the Foundation Assisted Schools Program has been successful in improving the quality of schools in their service delivery to the deserving students across the Punjab. The purpose was accomplished by analyzing the enrolment rate, grade transition and survival rate of respective pupil cohort of schools before and after becoming Foundation Assisted School partners. 1209 Foundation Assisted partner schools in 7 districts of the Punjab were constituted the accessible population and out of which 121 were taken randomly as sample. Data concerning trends on the pupil cohort were collected, recorded on Pupil Flow Chart and analyzed with the help of percentage and t-test. Results showed that the Foundation Assisted Schools Program, as a mechanism, was successful in influencing pupil cohort in a positive and desired way as improved ratios of enrolment, grade transitions and survival rate were observed.
