13. FUNCTIONS OF AEOs
Assistant Education Officers (AEO) are mobile administrators who manage the affairs of primary schools assigned
to them. Schools assigned to an AEO are collectively called a markaz and an AEO is judged on the performance of his/her markaz across a combination of prescribed access and quality indicators. An AEO is expected to perform a wide variety of functions for the schools in their markaz and the AEO logbook is a key tool to help him to do so. He/she must:
(1) ENSURE QUALITY EDUCATION IS BEING DELIVERED
a. Check if class work and homework is being assigned and whether feedback is provided to students on a regular basis;
b. Ensure fair conduct of annual, six monthly, three monthly and monthly examinations by checking whether exams are marked fairly and proper feedback is being provided to students;
c. Ensure progress reports are being given to students on a regular basis and that the teacher is maintaining a personal file for each student;
d. Suggest methods to improve the overall academic performance of a school, based on regular assessments, to the head teachers;
e. Identify areas of weakness in teaching and recommend weak performing teachers to District Training and Support Center (DTSC) for further training;
f. Ensure quality education is being delivered by observing lessons and keeping track of teacher grades given by District Teacher Educators (DTEs); and
g. Take ownership of the results of students in his/her markaz in all formal assessments, including but not limited to, Literacy and Numeracy Drive (LND), six monthly and Punjab Education Commission (PEC) exams. The aim of LND and six-monthly should be 90% marks, and for PEC, all students should pass with a majority obtaining an A grade.
